Ok, to bring us a bit back on track again, I'm
curious about Firbird, since we want an embedded
SQL engine for some automated testing tasks, and
SQLite is a bit too lite for our needs.

We use our own DB API, so we won't really need any
Python DB-API adapter, but I'm still interested
in experiences from Pythonistas using Firebird--
especially embedded.
