A lot of Firebird users have been saying this as well, but the
comparison if more for Enterprise use.
Plus if you need a embedded database wouldn't it be better to use one
built specifically for that purpose?  i.e. SQLite for example.

Good call on the name limit, I remember running into that when porting

I will have to check and see if this still applies to version 2.0
