Comparison between Interbase 7.5.1 and Firebird 2.0
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find a comparison between the respective technical performances of Interbase 7.5.1 and firebird 2.0 ?
Though Interbase 7.5.1 is sold by Borland for about $65 it seems at first glance technically much more advanced than the free of charge Firebird 2.0.
I'd appreciate any contribution that can help me make a sound comparision between these two databases.

embedded server doesn't need user authentication as it's single user anyway
interbase/firebird have always had very good crash recovery
both allow definition of your own datatypes

Thanks to both of you.

I read the article suggested by phuocnh but it tests only query execution speed.
What about the availability of a more diverse range of datatypes, (embedded server) user autentification and automatic crash recovery in interbase?
Is there a source of more thorough comparison between Interbase 7.5 and Firebird 1.5/2?
