Just attached the firebird backend and a patch file. Firebird has a problem, names can’t bigger than 31 chars for tables, fields, constraints, etc. In auth app needed to change user_premissions to permissions so the many to many table name doens’t get too big… must be a way we can workaround this…

As with any Analyst report, the results tend to be utter garbage. No matter how often you explain things to them, if they aren’t going to listen, or understand you are on a loser. Nobody said the project was leaderless, because it isn’t – there is an admin team that look after it, but unlike other open source databases the project isn’t driven by a commercial company. Postgres and Firebird work in the same way by utilising a large community of followers.
At the same time the Analyst has ignored the people he spoke to who use Firebird and come to his own – wrong – conclusions.
