It's not that the PostgreSQL backend is a mammoth like Oracle. The Firebird embedded version is pretty much the same as their server, but without network and client authentication layer. However, embedded usually demands that the backend be threaded. Otherwise it will be pretty useless/very inconvenient to use in many apps. Perhaps this is the major change that's hard to do? -- dave
