Any ideas how PostgreSQL compare with FireBird?
Is it better than FireBird?

PostgreSQL
==========
1. PostgreSQL is widely used (and more tested) than FireBird.
2. ?

FireBird
========
1. FireBird has API level Delphi components for optimized data access, that works faster than the ADO.
2. ?

Thanks,
