The open-source, cross-platform, free (even for commercial use) relational database product now features database triggers (such as on-commit), derived tables (".. from (select ...)"), common table expressions ("with recursive" is equivalent to "connect by" in Oracle), global temporary tables (transaction- and session-bound), the "returning" clause for DML operations, "update or insert" (known as "merge into" in Oracle), monitoring tables (incl. query cancellation), and much more! Please see the release notes for details, and go to firebirdsql.org or ibphoenix.com to download."
