A server process must be running, but you can use it on the same machine
as your client app with a "local" protocol, if that's what you are
asking, i.e. no need for TCP/IP.
In versions pre 6 there was also a local interbase engine, but AFAIK it
was confined to this local protocol just for licensing reasons.
