informative. Do you know where I can find information on how to embedded the
database engine in my Delphi 7 application? Or what I need to do to deploy
Firebird, should I decide not to go down the embedded route? Thank you.

Embedded does not mean the engine is actually "embedded" into the
application. It simply means there is a standalone DLL that operates as if
it's a running FB server. Simply renaming the fbembed.dll to gds32.dll is
all it takes. Put it in the application directory and you have a working,
embedded server. Read the release notes and other info for a little more
detailed description but that's basically it.
