Oh, well, I tried to avoid this,  I even aborted two messages, but I can't
resist:
Interbase transactions may span multiple databases, and you won't ever get a
deadlock as it uses a versioning engine so that every user has always a
consistent view of the database.

[I will try to keep my mouth shut (my fingers inactive?) after this one]

My  list of  Interbase resources will follow soon.
