Chapter Lead at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees3.0We use InterBase for our legacy ERP system due to its effective disaster recovery, though it lacks stability and features like update or insert statements. Firebird offers more functions, but comes with its own limitations. Stability over new features is our priority.
