<DIV>is an interesting read Skype, Microsoft, GE, Mozilla (Firefox bookmarks
and history), Adobe, Airbus (used in flight systems), Apple (iOS, Apple Mail and
Safari), Google Android (database services layer), Blackberry</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Obviously lightweight and robust enough as well as free. The list of
uses on mainly on growing market devices implies it has a major future.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some good points on the architecture highly concurrent reads, ACID
transactions, high volume automated tests.</DIV>

<DIV>Firebird embedded is probably one of the few comparable in size has
anyone in Firebird tried to make it a competitor to SQLLite?</DIV>
