Yes, Firebird came to the world after Borland's Interbase got open sourced. After that, Borland continued with Interbase development and they kinda existed for a while. I have no clue what happened to Interbase afterwards, as I've stopped caring.
As a former Delphi developer, I also dislike Borland. But I very much loved their products, no reason I would dismiss one just because it was made by Borland (and I'm talking about "new" Borland, not the Borland of the 80es and early 90es which was awesome).
- dozzie 10y agoIt's not that I disliked Firebird because Borland. I disliked it because tools and procedures (mainly the latter) were underdocumented and felt unpleasant to work with from a sysadmin's perspective compared to PostgreSQL and MySQL. At that time I didn't care about Borland for a long time already, because I was a Linux sysadmin then.
