Have to agree with you here. We've just started using Firebird for a
medium-to-large project, and after working with it for a few weeks I'm
amazed that it isn't more commonly used. And not only is Firebird more
fully-featured than MySQL - its licensing for commercial use is
noticeably more open than is MySQL's. Have had good experiences with
PostgreSQL on Linux, but Firebird will also run natively on Win32, which
is an added bonus and can be handy at times during development. I've
also found it fairly easy to get PHP talking to Firebird, though I did
have to recompile PHP with Interbase/Firebird support (fairly trivial).
