firebird3.0-server

Firebird Server - an RDBMS based on InterBase 6.0 code

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. This package contains the server binary as well as its configuration files. The default mode of operation is the so called "superclassic", which is a multi-threaded server -- each connection starts a separate thread and each connection has its own page cache. The two other operation modes -- "classic" (separate process/cache for each connection; started from the internet super-server inetd or xinetd) and "super" (single-threaded server process with shared cache between connections) are also available via configuration options.

firebird2.5-classic-common

common files for firebird 2.5 "classic" and "superclassic"

This package contains the command line utilities and UDFs (user-defined function libraries) common to classic and superclassic Firebird servers. Please refer to the firebird2.5-classic or firebird2.5-superclassic packages for more information about Firebird in general.

firebird2.5-super

Firebird Super Server - an RDBMS based on InterBase 6.0 code

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. This package contains the 2.5 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.
