Well, short review of it, from many years ago (around interbase 4):

I liked it. A lot. Stored Procedures, Triggers. foreign keys (which I used
badly, as I've since discovered), and all the other features which you'd
expect from an RDBMS. Quite full featured, quite nice, quite worth using.

As for the backdoor exploit, I've got one word: upgrade. With it being open
sourced, that account was removed within a day (at most) of the publishing,
I'm sure. So yes, it HAD a backdoor. It doesn't now. And it's a good product.
