The only answer you can get is that Firebird is client/server. The Server
is designed to run as a service. Clients connect to databases via the
server. As far as I know, this is the same model as you have in Sybase.

If you want a single process involving
- one self-contained instance of the server process
- client
- connection to one or more databases
then you want the Classic server.

If you want the memory efficiencies of each client negotiating with a
threaded instance of the server, then you want the Superserver.

If you want the special case of a single client connecting exclusively to a
single server process, without the need to run an external server, then (on
Windows only) you can use the embedded server model.

If this doesn't answer your question, then you will need to provide a
better description of what you are seeking. If you need to post your
description in Spanish, that is OK, somebody will interpret for you.
