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.
