I loved Firebird but now we have to have some cool things that Postgres has and Firebird doesn´t. Fiirebird has just 3 cool features that Postgres doesn´t: Computed by columns, Position for fields and triggers and execute blocks, just that. Replication, PITR, JSON and JSONB, XML, inherited tables, arrays, grouping sets, User defined datatypes, SELECT without a FROM clause, Parallel queries, Tuple comparison, Transactional DDL and a lot of other useful things that Firebird doesn´t know what it is. -- Sent from: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-general-f1843780.html
