InterBase

®

7.5 is an economical, high-performance,

transactional database that is relied upon by millions of users around
the world. Combining easy installation, automatic crash recovery, and
minimal maintenance, the InterBase database is extremely well-suited
for embedding within distributed applications. Multiprocessor support
and a sophisticated architecture make it a great choice for high-
powered, business-critical applications that have many connected
users. Its power, ease-of-use, support for the Windows,

®

Linux,

®

and Solaris™ platforms — as well as for development environments 
such as Borland Delphi,™ C++Builder,

®

C#Builder,™ and Kylix

®

— 

make the InterBase database a favorite with developers and a
lower-cost option for businesses. 

At the core of InterBase lies a sophisticated multiversioning architecture
that allows it to deliver significant advantages in reliability, performance,
developer productivity, and ongoing maintenance. It frees developers from
concurrency issues and many memory management tasks while providing
immediate recovery from crashes.

InterBase is an ideal solution for deployments during which there is no
database administrator or IT support. Automatic crash recovery and
automated processes for user management, online backup, and other
maintenance tasks dramatically reduces the requirement for
administration. Self-tuning features include cost-based query optimization
and automatic garbage collection. Dynamic rebalancing of index
structures enhances performance and reduces administration.

InterBase does not lock you into an application language or a single
vendor’s platform for your application development. Rather, InterBase
offers cross-platform compatibility among Windows, Linux, Solaris, and
Java™ platforms — without requiring recoding or support for multiple
database back ends.

Compliance with the SQL92 standard and the absence of proprietary
syntax means that developers familiar with other SQL databases can get
up to speed quickly with the InterBase SQL command set. And, because
InterBase complies with such a broad spectrum of the SQL92 command
set, the barriers to solving development challenges are diminished.

The small footprint of InterBase allows easier deployment to systems with
modest RAM and disk resources. Customizable installation components
allow it to be transparently embedded in proprietary application
installation procedures. The InterBase database licensing structure makes
it easier for developers to track application usage wherever it occurs,
simplifying license distribution for application access.

InterBase is tightly integrated with Delphi, Kylix, C++Builder,
Borland JBuilder,

®

and Borland Delphi™ 2005. Using InterBase with 

these visual, highly intuitive development environments helps developers
build applications and deploy them faster. ODBC and JDBC™ APIs mean
that applications built with many of the most popular development tools
also can use InterBase. Using a familiar development tool increases
developer productivity.
