According to the phpBB 'features' list
(http://www.phpbb.com/features.php), phpBB works with:
* MySQL 3.2x,
* PostgreSQL 7.x,
* Microsoft SQL Server 7/2000
* Microsoft Access (via ODBC)
...with more databases available in the future.
So unless you want to wait for Interbase to be added 'in the future'
you'd probably ought to think about MySQL... using the pkgmaster PKG,
installation is pretty simple.
