Package: libfbembed1 (1.5.3.4870-12)

Firebird embedded client/server library

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 in production systems, under a variety of names since 1981.

This package containst libfbembed1 - 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 libfbclient1, 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 -- that is in firebird2-classic-server package.

If you are in doubt, you most probably need libfbclient1, instead of this package.
