I prefer a functional language to a procedural one for stored procedures cause its a lot easier and quicker to get what you want that way. > Plus PostgreSQL has been BSD pretty much from the beginning and hasn't > been abandoned by it's fathers :) I dont think thats relevant. Borland took interbase back to closed source and is still available commercially so its not abandoned. Whilst I prefer Firebird I don't mind using Postgres instead just as long as the best and most appropriate RDBMS is chosen for GNOME and that might well be Firebird or Postgres. It just so happens that Interbase/Firebird has more advantages that might be important: 1) Smaller footprint 2) Easy setup - no tweaking required like Postgres and it works optimally out of the box. 3) Minimal administration (apart from user and persmission setup no further tweaking is required) 4) Better performance (Postgres needs more tweaking just to get close) IMO, for a novice user wanting a no nonsense RDBMS with minimal maintenance Firebird easily beats Postgres. Feel free to prove otherwise - a proper and fair evaluation of installing postgres/firebird and the issues surrounding them should reveal which is most appropriate. jamie.
