    Folks,

    Anyone here has any experience with FrontBase? What's the deal with FB
    crashing on malformed SQL?

    Will Scheidegger is developing an FB adapter (see
    http://objectstyle.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=CAY-175) and
    while helping him with that, I am constantly running into this problem.
    Certain malformed SQL statements kill the DB instance process
    completely, instead of simply returning with an error. I observed this
    in Java JDBC apps, but also in FrontBaseManager. I have FB 4.1.6 on Mac
    OS X Panther.

    I guess this is really a question for FB mailing list, but I feel a bit
    disappointed. FrontBase was always hailed as superstable supercool
    engine, but this looks extremely immature....
