What gave you that idea? Firebird (and InterBase of course) use a at least 1 file per database, but that's all. Can you define "regular files"? > OK, there is a network-server component, but it really has nothing to do > with an enterprise-DB. There's a server side process waiting for incoming connections just like with MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle etc etc... What exactly are you missing in Firebird?
