VistaDB, TurboDB, Advantage are all file-based "database" systems -
they're basically dBase files (or some other proprietary format), and
access routines for those files, including some SQL emulation layer.
Some offer some type of server variants, too, where they have a server
component running on a machine, controlling the database files.

Firebird on the other hand is a full-fledged SQL database server,
complete with stored procedures, triggers, and more. It's more on a
par with MS SQL Server, IBM DB2, Oracle etc. (but a lot less bulky and
best of all - it's free !).

It really depends on what you need to do - store a few hundred
addresses or records?? Any of the above will do fine. Build a
mission-critical workgroup system for 10, 20 concurrent online users?
Only Firebird will really handle that nicely (IMHO).
