[thelist] Using Firebird as an embedded database

We've a few projects here where we'll need some kind of an embedded
DBMS. It'd be nice to avoid MySQL (because of the need for a commercial
license), MSSQL (as it's Windows only and its embeddable
form--MSDE--doesn't allow as many simultaneous connections as we'd need
in a server environment), and Oracle (ha! ha! ha! and yes, I know about
Oracle lite). I'm not confident enough in PostgreSQL on Window quite
yet, SQLite and HSQLdb are inappropriate in the context, so Firebird
appears to be the best fit.

I've been running it on my laptop, fiddling around with it, and reading
the documentation, and I like what I see so far.

If anybody on the list has been using it for anything, I'd be grateful
for any thoughts or stuff to watch out for.
