But Firebird is based on Interbase which has been around a bit longer than PostgreSQL (well, a couple of years) ;-).
I don't think you can go wrong with either PostgreSQL or Firebird. Our company uses Interbase (I'm in the process of converting to Firebird) on 100's of database with many of them exceeding 20gig.. The performance is awesome, and the ease of administration is very nice. I've never run PostgreSQL databases of that size (or that extensively) so I don't know how it stacks up. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 10:30 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Databases - which one > > > "brett holcomb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Thanks.
