As a long-time user of Postgres, (First started using it at 7.0) I'm reading recently that Firebird has been taking off as a database.
Perhaps this is not the best place to ask this, but is there any compelling advantage to using Firebird over Postgres?
Firebird is a nice database but I don't think it can scale as well as PostgreSQL. IIRC they just added support for SMP. Also, although their community is very active I do not believe it is as large nor does it have the commercial backing like PostgreSQL.
