Hi,
And thanks for the responses.
I am surprised since I think this is a very fundamental
thing since Firebird can rum in server or embedded mode.
So even if one was to not use it in embedded mode,
my question is still whether the Jaybird JAR file
is a total re-write of Firebird database engine in Java
hence it is all in this file.
OR is is just a driver to connect to the FireBird engine
which is just a ".dll" file.

Hope there is somebody out there that can clarify.

By the way as for Embedded, Roman Rokytskyy sent me
code on how things work in Server and Embedded, see below:

***************************************************
FBManager m = new FBManager();
m.setServer(host);
m.setPort(3050); //optional
m.start();
// recreate if db exists
m.setForceCreate(true);
m.createDatabase(path, user, password);
m.stop();

for embedded:

FBManager m = new FBManager("EMBEDDED");
m.start();
// recreate if db exists
m.setForceCreate(true);
m.createDatabase(path, user, password);
m.stop();
*******************************************************

Once again I wish to know what files
are important to just get started.


Sincerely,

P
