<pre>For what it's worth, Firebird is nowhere near ready for use by the general
public, and I do not believe migration should even be an option (except for
beta testers.) After seeing the pop-up for months, I finally decided to
migrate a db. After all, you wouldn't ask people to migrate to a new db if it
wasn't ready would you?
Relational db's are new for me, and I've spent days upon days studying and
learning to a point where I could make some simple db's. That was a lot of
work, and I felt good about it. After migrating, however, that db was
completely useless. I couldn't do anything with it, and I do not have the SQL
knowledge to debug something like that.
So, I figured that, since I've seen postings saying that HSQL is being
deprecated, that I might as well just rebuild the db in Firebird. I spent a
couple days rebuilding it, then I hit some new bug. I've spent hours upon
hours trying to figure out this new problem to no avail.
While I cannot say that all the problems I had are due to Firebird, I can say
this: with HSQL, at least I had a usable, working db that I could focus on
adding to and building. With Firebird, the amount of time I spend dealing with
problems is orders of magnitude greater than the amount of time I've spent
actually using the db I tried to build, and I don't have anything that works.
It's definitely not ready for regular users and this reflects extremely poorly
on the entire LO project.</pre>
