Highly scalable - from embedded, as more feature rich alternative to SQLite, with unicode support out of box, to client-server for small business and higher to corporations, as Oracle and MSSQL alternative. Can also be used in the web, as there are PHP PDO driver and standalone feature rich Interbase extension.
