Bear in mind that the original reason for the cross reference was to 
provide information for people converting from MySQL and PostgeSQL into 
Firebird. So the words cross reference on the wiki WILL still provide 
links to show people how to do in Firebird something that is handled 
differently in MySQL or PostgreSQL. ( Oracle was included at one stage 
but I did not have enough knowledge to populate it )

It has been called 'Firebird Words Reference' for some time on the wiki :)
