[DUG] Why InterBase

[Richard Vowles]

Its funny isn't it that architecturally all evidence says "don't put
your stuff in stored procedures" - it is hard to port and impossible to
scale. On the other hand, every vendor wants you to do it because it
ties you to them :-) 

SO maybe I should promote stored procedures in InterBase? Rohit.....

A bit self fulfilling this!
