I wrote an accounts receivable/payable app in Borland Delphi back in 2002. At the time Interbase was the easy choice. At that time, Interbase was transitioning to Firebird. I dropped it in as a replacement and it did its job fine. If you like MySQL, you'll miss auto incrementing Primary Key Columns that MySQL seems to have made so popular. It's not too hard to setup a trigger for sequence types, but it's not built in. (or it wasn't back then) All the tools for management were the Interbase tools. Most of my stuff is either MySQL these days or Postgres when I need good spatial support. I've messed with CouchDB a bit. I just don't see Firebird going anywhere for my needs.
