InterBase (www.ibphoenix.com) is much more better than both (refrential
integrity, stored
procedures, triggers, matrices, views, subselect .. and many other
features from the new SQL3). It is bomb proof. It is better than
Sybase, Informix, M$ SQL Server... It is only 9 MB (all the server) and,
nicely, could be embedded. It is a first rank RDBMS, not like that toy
named MySQL. InterBase is freeware and open source :-). I have used for
years MySQL, Postgres and other RDBMS, but I find InterBase the best one
for every use.
