Hi Dorin

>A year ago I choosed Firebird from same two options (Postgres hadn't Windows version at that time) . I have no regrets yet and I'm very pleased to work with Firebird. MySQL has a lot of table handlers and table types and lacks features that I can't work the way I need without.

>OTOH, Firebird has a well designed database engine, with record versioning (this means no lock escalation or lock conflicts for both read or write transactions, easy online backup and automatic crash recovery) and very flexible trigger support (unlimited number of BEFORE or AFTER triggers and posibility to specify trigger execution order)

So I guess I will stick to FB

>I've almost finished a services API wrapper class for Firebird (will work probably with Interbase too).
>Using this class, one can easyly invoke database maintenace (backup/restore), get database statistics or set database properties, add or modify users in security database, all within VFP applications. I think that I can post the class in download section soon.

Please do as soon as you can I would love to get all the help to get this sample project up and running, then I can proceed with the proposed stuff if I can perform at least locally.

Thanks for responding
Regards
Bhavbhuti
