Will 2.1 have a true auto increment attribute?  A boolean field perhaps?
Those are the only things that I miss when using FB.  I am aware that all of
these issues can be resolved by using generators/triggers and a validating
domain.  That is what I like about MySQL, MSSQL and others that are missing
from FB.

Do not misunderstand though.  I've used FB for 8+ years with great success
in embedded, small and large transactional systems without flaw.  Never had
a corrupt DB.  AFAIK, never had a corrupt backup.  Most of the time, I
deploy FB on Linux servers and backup using gbak.
