1. SMP support is a clear winner (23% of votes) in the poll. And this is definitely one of the high priority tasks in the project. As you know, it was the major goal of the Vulcan development and its implementation is being currently tested. The public test versions will be available soon for those who's willing to test it in real-world scenarios. The final SMP implementation is targeted for the v3.0 release, as stated in our roadmap. |

2. Better security (16%). It's not very clear what security issues are assumed here, but some fixes and improvements are already made and more ones are scheduled for the near future. In particular, you may expect embedded security, database encryption and trusted authentication quite soon. |
MySQL and PostgreSQL do support this from some time.

3. Cross-database queries (14%). This is a quite important feature that requires serious design investigation. Its implementation is not trivial, so it's not in the nearest schedule and hence it may require sponsorship to get a higher priority. |

4. Faster wire protocol (13%). Some improvements have already been made in this area (see previous blog records) and others are scheduled for the next versions. |
Quote:
5. Server monitoring (8%). This feature is already being debugged and tested, so you may expect the core monitoring abilities quite soon. |
Apart from some sarchasm, I consider Firebird an excellent database developed by a highly motivated and competent group, but I was very surprised reading that post, because it seemed quite surprised by those requests, which are IMHO pretty standard.
Ok, enough for the rants now, have a nice day ;-)
Note: Mariuz (see post comments) added this rant to Firebirdnews and we can read some of Dmitry's comments about it, my favourite is that, yes v$session like views ARE coming!!!

Not at all, hope Dmitry wont feel too bad about my post and most of all didn't consider this Firebird bashing as you know I'm quite active in the Firebird forum at Devshed.
BTW: Nice to hear that v$session views are coming to Firebird (I read Dmitry's comments on Firebirdnews).
