Hi,

I'm currently using IB 6.x (OpenSource) with my Delphi programs. I'm
planning to replace InterBase with Firrebird. However, I have some
questions before doing anything:

1- Can I access a Firebird server from a client computer that have
IB 6 client files installed, or I also have to instal Firebird
client on this computer ? (What I'm looking for is an easy migration
to Firebird).

2- If not, can I only replace the file "gds32.dll" on the client
computer ?

3- Is my Delphi programs (using IBX) will be 100% compatible if
accessing a Firebird database instead of a IB 6.x database ?

4- My Delphi program uses IBX (InterBase Admin components) to access
an IB server then do tasks such as backup, restore, etc. Is it will
continue to work even with Firebird ?

5- I have my own installation program that install IB in silent
mode. This program use IBINSTALL.DLL. Is there such a file with
Firebird to do the same thing ?

Thanks for any information any body can provide me.

Best regard,

GP
