Forget about mysql. Firebird 3.0 is at least, the continuation of an excellent Borland SQL database. Anyway, as an info for you, Microsoft SQL and PostgreSQL share the same initial project/sources. Obviously, the projects then evolved separately.

MySQL is not exactly a a relational data base. Let's forget it.

I have always worked with firebird in delphi, I have no complains. PostgresSQL is supposed to be more powerful than Firebird. On the other hand, Postgresql it is more complex and developers admit that, on windows, connection is 50% slower than in Unix-like

I asked years ago about Firebird vs PostgresSQL, and had an interesting thread:

Long ago I was using Microsoft SQL server or Borland-Delphi BDE. Now, as Open-Source converted, I prefer to use something Open-Source. But it seems to be a kind of war for this, like the "Mac vs Windows" war. Some people say MySQL is a joke, Firebird is much better, others say the opposite. What is your advice about this? Thanks.
