FirebirdSQL as backend database
Can you consider to implement FirebirdSQL server/embeded as backend
database (www.firebirdsql.org).
Firebird is also opensource.

I'm sorry if I offended you. I didn't intend to. It was exactly the reason I
didn't respond the first time I saw your mail. I'm in need of some holidays
and not in the best of my doing lately. Again, I did not mean to offend you
and I'm sorry I did.
bye,
Erik.

We do not support pluggable databases backends yet. That's the real
issue here. A level of abstraction was done to divide between
"database" versus "no database" backends. But a whole separate level of
abstraction still needs to be done to allow *different* databases.J
Once that happens, yes, we'll theoretically be able to support different
SQL databases: postgres, mysql, firebird, etc.

You're perfectly welcome here. Didn't mean to scare you away.

The main point here is not whether firebird is "good" or "bad" or
"better" than anything else; the main point is that you're many steps
ahead in the conversation, placing the cart before the horse, as they
say. We're nowhere near able to use SQL databases yet, so it makes no
sense to argue merits of specific SQL implementations. We have a long
way to go before we can use SQL at all.

The <b>Berkeley </b>db is not match for Firebrid, not even closer,
and the best part is yet to come.<br>
The real one handicap is that FirebirdSQL is not installed by default
on any OS.<br>
And, yes, FirebirdSQL is as free as a "bird".<br>
Have a good day sir.<br>

To answer your question: Subversion supports pluggable backends which does
not mean the project intends to do the development of one any time soon. You
are welcome however to organise the effort required; all contributions are
very welcome.

Erik.
BTW: Not all open source has the same license; which makes some open source
