Firebird database project coordinator Dmitry Yemanov presents a project roadmap for upcoming Firebird development. "What then?", - you ask. I'd describe Firebird 2.0 as "the version which removes the annoying limits". Sounds not so modest, I know. Let me explain better. No doubt that Firebird has a nice multi-generational architecture and a rich SQL language, an embedded usage and a good performance. But I'm sure almost everyone stepped on some internal limitations that worried or even shocked you."
One of the nicest things about Firebird is that "multi generational architecture" that, in a word, allows the system to support (say) a long-running report job without massive locks. The report can see a stable view of "the data as it was when my transaction started," even while allowing subsequent updates to occur. Very nice.
