Firebird has been the most stable DB engine i have ever worked with. Install is super-fast, small and easy. I think it is also the best database for embedded, since it is so rich but also very small. It is often compared with PostgreSQL that is much bigger in size, even if it almost has the same functionalities. I have worked with FB since version 1 up to version 3, and it is still the most stable DB engine i know of. The big con is that it is not on standard shared servers. I hope it will be.

This is an answer for me when i looking for alternate RDBMS to replace my previous projects 5 years ago (i was use mysql and sqlserver). Together with flamerobin, firebird is the simplest but robust RDBMS compared to other, event to commercial databases system. can't wait for 4th version that has built in replication, and it will become 'complete form database system' :D

Under windows 10 64bit - no install. The win64 installler did zero. I have deleted all files from my pc. This is a good idea, but it just did nothing. Yes, I read the quick install pdf file and followed the instructions. Maybe the linux versions work.

I've tested it on Windows as embedded variant (DLL), and found it quite programmer-friendly, while speed and ACID characteristics are on the level of PostgreSQL (that is NOT embedded).
