Not a bad thought. I'd forgotten about FireBird.
Not a surprise... MySQL has a wider user base than Firebird, and along with PostgreSQL they've been in the Open Source arena a little bit more.
How well do FireBird's ODBC/JDBC drivers work with OOo?
For me its fine. I've been only using de JDBC driver to connect from a Win XP box to a Firebird 1.3 SuperServer on a SuSe 7.3 Linux box. I made the installation a couple of days ago, so i'm still testing.
Currently i was able to insert, update and delete records on tables with default and autoincrement values, but i want to push this a little more with calculated fields, stored procedures and views.
By the way, personally i dont recommend the ODBC Driver because Open Source ones aren�t as mature as needed, and the cost from Propietary ones ranges from 180 to 275 USD.
At present the PostgreSQL ones aren't so happy. :( Reading tables and simple stuff is fine, but inserting rows into tables with sequences and default values doesn't work well enough to recommend it.
too bad... Its a good DBMS.
Does FireBird do better?
Regards and best wishes,
