Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-99 features that
runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers
excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support
for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used on production systems
under a variety of names since 1981.
.
The "classic" architecture uses a new process to handle each connection
which results in somewhat slower operation (but is said to be faster
than "super" on local connections) yet can take advantage of multiple
CPUs on SMP machines. This is the "traditional" architecture.
.
This package contains the 2.0 branch of Firebird.
.
Firebird is a commercially independent project of C and C++ programmers,
technical advisors and supporters developing and enhancing a multi-platform
relational database management system based on the source code released by
Inprise Corp (now known as Borland Software Corp) under the InterBase Public
License v.1.0 on 25 July, 2000. |
| firebird2.0-common | common files for firebird 2.0 servers and clients | Mehr ... |
This package contains files common to both servers and clients for both super
and classic flavours.
.
These include the security database, message file (firebird.msg), support
scripts as well as configuration files in /etc/firebird/2.0.

Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-99 features that
runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers
excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support
for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used on production systems
under a variety of names since 1981.
.
The "super" architecture uses separate threads to handle each connection.
It has its advantages (eg: is usually faster and more efficient for large
numbers of clients) but is unable to use more that one CPU on an SMP
system and under some circumstances a client may crash all server threads.

excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support
for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used on production systems
under a variety of names since 1981.
.
This package contains the client library required to connect to Firebird. It
works with either "super-server" or "classic" variants, as well as with
commercial InterBase servers.
.
It uses TCP to connect to the server and is tread-safe.
.
For direct (non-TCP) database access, see libfbembed2. |

Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-99 features that

for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used on production systems
under a variety of names since 1981.
.
This package containst libfbembed2 - the embedded client/server library for
Firebird.
.
It can work with remote Firebird servers (either super-server or classic) via
TCP connections, in the same way libfbclient does.
.
Contrary to libfbclient, libfbembed is not thread-safe.
.
When working with local database libfbembed works directly with the database
file without the need of a separate server process. It needs a separate lock
manager -- fb_lock_mgr -- which is in firebird2.0-classic package.
.
If you are in doubt, you most probably need libfbclient2, instead of this
package. |
