Here's an old document on the subject:
http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_ss_vs_classic

I think most of it is still relevant, but read the release notes with a
current download to get the latest information.

I believe the embedded version is only available for Win32. It's a .DLL that
can reside in the same directory as the application itself--therefore very
simple to deploy and requires no extra server installation procedures. It
restricts database access to a single-user, local SYSDBA. Other than that, it
is functionally the same.

Here's the link to download it (click on the 1.5 release that has "embed" in
it):
