Alexander,

There should be no additional files required for the
InterBase piece. The 'Local' engine is the 'Remote'
engine (no differences except for the license file).

One of the beauties of IB is that when you want to
scale your application up from the desktop its as
simple as dedicating a machine to host IB (eg. myserver)
and modifying the conneciton string.

from: connect \<drive>:\<path>\<database>
to: conenct myserver:\<drive>:\<path>\<database>

One area I've seen some programmers struggle in doing
this is that their application design is not ready
for a multiuser environment. Meaning that things
like TTables, select(*), count(*) are throughout the
application. And sometimes transaction control is
less than optimal. One will not notice the performance
impact of the above operations until put into a
multiuser environement and then performance goes
out the window.

Only go to the database when you need to.
