[NTLUG:Discuss] MySQL vs PostgreSQL

[Bob Byron]

You might try Firebird.  Firebird is actually a revision of Interbase.  
When Interbase opened sourced their product, Firebird became an
offshoot of the open sourced project.  Although they have the same
code base, the Firebird version seems to be more current than the
one on the Borland website.
