I'm just evaluating Interbase and there is an important point that did not
come out in the thread.
It seems that Borland went back on key commitments to the open source
development team and lost their trust and goodwill. As a result, the source
has forked, with most of the momentum behind the fully open source Firebird
project. Borlands commitment to their own 'official' version looks pretty
thin.
You can find info on Firebird at:
http://firebird.sourceforge.net
http://www.ibphoenix.com
http://www.interbase2000.com
Things are at an early stage, but Firebird have already identified and fixed
a major security hole during their security audit of the Borland code, and
offer binary builds for a number of platforms.
Looks like the Firebird fork is the one with the future.
