Marius, All I would observe is that you cannot usefully compare two RDBMSs without considering how well they support the applications that use them. Indeed you have to look at the whole lifecycle from design, development and test through to field support and deployment to get a real feel about how one compares with another. You cannot reduce this to a simple list of features. As any student of Godel will point out, this will always be incomplete.
For example, I have one client that is currently less than happy with MySQL not because of any technical feature in your list, but because they did not appreciate the full implications of the GPL - they would have been much happier with the Firebird Licence. You could say that "I will add this to my feature list" - but this will be a never ending list if you go on doing this as different applications will through up different issues. You _can_ look at a specific application and its lifecycle and then make recommendations on which RDBMS is better for that applications taking account of some assumptions that you need to make - and for a specific client that can be a very useful and valuable report. But that is all. Regards Tony Whyman MWA Software On 10/03/14 07:00, marius adrian popa wrote: > I decided to compare the current versions of MySQL 5.6 and Firebird > SQL 2.5.
