Take a look to a new Firebird 2.1 next month and probably you will change your idea about it... UDF: FreeAdHocUDF, a lot of internal SQL function... and if you wanna a good book www.ibphoenix.com Helen Borrie book... a MUST!

Like I said, Firebird was bad last time I used it - Interbase was awful in the 2 and a half years I used it. Guilt by association? ;-) UDF was biggest issue. The database relied heavily on using custom UDF functions, as well as the greater amount of FreeUDFLib. It also tried to do *everything* in stored procs, which is a really bad idea IMHO. A server process would have solved a lot of the instanility, which were caused mostly by implied logical second tier issues due to the design mentioned above. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
