Indeedy - I had never even heard of firebird until we started a new job
|
|
last week with a client who uses it. So we popped it onto a box
|
|
downstairs and wow - it is fast. Comes with some lovely client tools
|
|
also. Supports all the db goodies, transactions, stored procedures,
|
|
triggers.

IBM's db2 is another cheaper alternative to Oracle. Free single
|
|
developer license downloadable from their website.
