writes: I have been a big fan of the Firebird
database for a while now. It is a fast, reliable and maintenance free
database which suits my needs. While it is very good at a couple of
things, one of the features that I like is the fact that the entire
database is stored in one file. In principle this is not important, but
it is pretty clean and can be very useful.
