What about Firebird?

http://firebird.sourceforge.net/

does anyone here have personal experience? On paper (well, online) it 
compares favorably to PostgreSQL, and it can be easily embedded.

It's an excellent browser, much quicker than mozilla on it's own.

Oh.  Databases.  Bother.
Thats my problem - I'm supposed to be researching 'preferred' databases 
for my job, and while Firebird looks good no one got any experience 
with it.

Currently I'm recommending SQLite for small, embedded work (single user 
CD-ROMs with a lot of data in very simple databases) and PostgreSQL for 
the big stuff.

Any real life experience with Firebird (the database) I'd love to hear 
about.
