Thanks, but instead of sifting through all the individual messages I wanted to see if there were any comments that summarize the whole thing. If there are not my conclusion is that there is more free documentation and support for mysql than interbase. I even found a new book at Barnes and Noble titled: MySQL/PHP Database Applications. The documentation for interbase is not so well supported probably because it is more new to open source.
