    Ok, a bit offtopic, but this interests me. I worked a little bit with PostgreSQL in the past and remember thinking it was pretty good - Recently in a project we used Firebird (formerly known as Interbase), and I really got to like it.
    Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of postgresql vs. firebird?
