Joao Pedrosa’s wiki – post of the day

My use of Firebird started with its precursor, Interbase. I used Interbase for almost two years in a Delphi project, and at the time I was already doing some Firebird tests to see if it was a good alternative to Interbase. It was. It is. But I ended up not using it. From then on, Firebird has remained my database engine of choice, and I use it to host these sites, for instance. Also, I use it in most of my development efforts.
