Check it out here:

When comparing in the grid the only major advantage FB has is probably
BLOB support.
PG only suppports 1 gb while FB supports 32gb.  Bytea is pretty slow as
well when compared to the FB BLOB support.

The other area is Character sets and collation.  They support it at a
field level as well as the database.

Other than that I would say PG kicks butt.

If there is any interest I could also add MySQL 5.0 to the mix as the
third column.


Later,

Tony
