Whatever you do don't get interbase!!!....it's a pigging nightmare. Besides
there is a major security flaw:
Interbase contains a backdoor user account and password called
"LOCKSMITH". When accessed this account will eliminate all implemented
security allowing full control of any database and contents within the
database, this level of access will allow any function to be performed
including modification of objects, root access and execution of arbitrary
functions. "LOCKSMITH" is hard coded in the database engine and is located
in the jrd/pwd.h header.

Interbase is free. www.borland.com/interbase.
You'll have to get an ODBC driver - there are several to be found for around
$100.
