PostgreSQL is a robust, next-generation, Object-Relational DBMS (ORDBMS), derived from the Berkeley Postgres database management system. "PostgreSQL is one of the best-managed open source projects out there" a friend-in-the-know told me about 2 years ago, so today we feature a mini-interview with five members of the PostgreSQL team about their plans on the popular DB.

Firebird already has a full featured native win32 version and has full support for transactions/stored procedures/triggers/ etc etc.
We have ported MS SQL server apps with great success to Firebird.
The learning curve of FB compared to Postgress is alot less.
The FB procedural language is powerful and easy to learn and can be extented with UDF (user defined functions) that can be programmed in C,C++ or Pascal
another big plus for Firebird is the large amount of 3rd party support for Admin tools, one of the best is IB Expert www.ibexpert.com
Firebird also has JODBC,ODBC,AODB,.net drivers available.
