I always worked with Firebird since 2005 writing application in Delphi, C# and ASP.NET. I never had a corrupt database in my projects. I never needed to work with another database.
Why Firebird instead of PostgreSQL?
Because Firebird is:
- Easy to Install and Configure;
- Very stable;
- Lightweight (Firebird 2.5 Download:
6,4MB / Postgresql 9.0 Download:
47MB);
- OpenSource;
- Easy deployment (PSQL);
- Crossplatform (Win32 / Win64 / Linux
x86 / Linux AMD64 / MacOS X / Solaris
/ HP-UNIX);
- No need for DBAs;
- Embedded engine;
Well. If you are using Firebird you dont need another Database. :)
