The forum post with the results are in Spanish but here are the results and translation in English:
1. The computer was as below :
2. Hard Drives :
a. Western Digital 1TB 64MB Cache Sata III Black
b. Crucial 128GB RealSSD C300
The test consisted in the creation of a database with 1 table :
CREATE TABLE COR_PRUEBA (
INTEGER INTEGER NOT NULL,
CHARACTER CHAR (20),
CARACTER2 CHAR (10),
“DOUBLE” DECIMAL (15, 2),
INTEGER1 INTEGER);
ALTER TABLE COR_PRUEBA
PK_COR_PRUEBA ADD CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY (INT);
The test is done with the IBExpert 2009.08.19 and consisted of the insertion of 500,000 records (Insert operations) with random data.
Results:
Disc A (HDD): 1hr 11m 40s 43ms
Disc B (SSD): 3m 42s 224ms
What really stunned me was the Big difference and both tests were performed with exactly the same parameters.
Judge yourself whether it is worth mounting a SSD for storage xD.

On .net provider list Rick Roen is writing a utility to change user password , the best way to change it is from sql :).
Read the user create/delete/update notes.
Now a regular user can change it’s own password without the need for sysdba intervention:
The new DDL command ALTER USER enables an “ordinary” user (a regular Firebird user, a non-root user on POSIX or a trusted user on a Windows system where trusted authentication is enabled) the ability to change his or her password and/or personal name elements, while logged in to any database.

Marco Cantu posted in his blog:
…While most of the questions are on the choice and number of servers used (MS SQL Server being the most widely adopted, Oracle the most critical, and Firebird has a significant 4% 5.5% presence for large companies). Other questions are tuned for Embarcadero products (like evaluating the need for automating some DBA tasks). A few questions are interesting for their broad perspective, like those focused on the relationship between developers and DBAs…
Btw, interesting that there is no mention of Embarcadero’s Interbase in the survey results.
