Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Overall, Firebird offers good support for developing Web-based applications that require comprehensive features around programmability, data types, and industry-standard interfaces. Although Firebird has good DBMS technology, it remains leaderless, with no vendor driving the project. Firebird has good penetration in the developer community, especially in Europe and Australia, but it lags in mission-critical production deployments, largely because of its lack of comprehensive technical support available from vendors. Firebird is best suited for customers that want an easy-to-use database to support small transactional and Web-based applications.
