Hi!
Good point. How does FrontBase compare do PostgreSQL in stuff
like speed, reliability, data coherence, etc? Easy of use is not
the most important feature in a DB for me.

1. Its a real database. IMHO it rivals Oracle, not MySQL/Postgres.
What does this mean? I don't have much experience with imaginary
databases...
Well, for a long time, MySQL didn't have transaction support. Now
it does, but only if you use the InnoDB storage.
FrontBase has always had transactions.
FrontBase fully supports the SQL92 standard, plus the '99 additions.
here's the feature chart from their site:
* Tera-byte size databases
* Giga-byte size CHARACTER column values (UTF8 encoded)
* Giga-byte size BLOBs and CLOBs
* Datastore encryption (block mode, on the fly)
* Client/server communication encryption (streaming, on the fly)
* In-memory caching of tables
* Row-level privileges
* Sophisticated locking model
* Backup of live databases
* Multi-column optimized B-tree indexing with very low overhead
* Replication/mirroring
* Super-fast start-up times
* Stored procedures and functions
* Server side cursors
* Query plan information
* Multiple non-rectangular result sets
* Clusters
* Streaming QuickTime content
* MySQL migration tool
* FileMaker migration tool
