Description

With InterXpress for Firebird you have guaranteed access to Firebird and all its features. The driver comes in three versions:

Desktop Edition
Server Edition
Server Edition with Connection Pooling

Desktop Edition
The Desktop Edition is aimed at deploying and developing applications that use a localhost or local protocol connection and accepts up to four connections per client process. The license includes full rights to deploy the driver at any number of sites for any number of workstations.

Server Edition
The Server Edition is aimed at deploying and developing applications that require a remote connection (client/server) and allows unlimited connections from a single client process. The license includes unlimited rights to deploy the driver at any number of sites for any number of workstations and/or servers.

Server Edition with Connection Pooling
Basically the same as the "Server Edition" but with internal connection pooling. Specifically useful for application servers and webserver applications without having to build a connection pooling mechanism - this driver already has it! Instead of pooling the dbExpress connection (an added layer by Borland), it pools the actual database connection. So there's nothing you have to change in your application!

All versions come with a full year of support and maintenance updates. The support period can be extended at a reduced price after the first year.

Firebird Sponsoring
