There are some hard numbers to prove that. 2) Dicey security? You should be prepared to support that claim with some evidence. Classic is AFAIK secure as Super Server. 3) While Borland stopped to develop Classic for a reason, Firebird project had a reason to develop it too, and even bring it to the Windows platform. Classic has certain characteristics that make it more suitable than SS for certain tasks. Borland lost several big users/customers thanks to their discontinuation of Classic. 4) Even with new Vulcan/Firebird 3.0 architecture, Firebird will not discontinue to support "classic". In fact, new architecture is a hybrid one, that allows to run FB in embedded, Super Server, Classic or "both" mode (multiple cooperating multithreaded servers). best regards Pavel Cisar IBPhoenix
