Anand,

Quick and dirty answer: if you don't know, use SuperServer for
windows, and ClassicServer for linux.

Then, read this:

For the embedded version:
"The embedded server is a fully functional server linked as a dynamic
library (fbembed.dll). It has exactly the same features as the usual
server and exports the standard Firebird API entrypoints"

HTH,
Fabrice
