FirebirdSQL Backend

Hello All,

I have been working on a backend for the FirebirdSQL database (the open 
source fork of Interbase) lately.  It's working fine although maybe a 
bit too simplistic for everyone's taste.  I had been using SQLite, but 
got a bit nervous about that backend for production after I tried to 
modify the User class and all the data in my _user table disappeared!  
Subsequent digging into the SQLite backend revealed that SQLite cannot 
modify it's tables, so instead the backend was dropping the table and 
attempting to copy the existing data back into the new table.  
Obviously, something went wrong during that process!

Anyway, is there any appetite for a FirebirdSQL backend or is everyone 
happy with SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL?  I see FirebirdSQL as sitting 
somewhere between MySQL and PostgreSQL, but kind of like a poor man's MS 
SQL Server with Interbase's very long Windows history. These days it 
comes with an embedded version which I think would work well with 
Roundup.

Cheers,

Rob.
