Hi

Another quick newbie question:

I am trying out Firebird embedded as per the instructions given by Phillip
Flores and others on the Delphi.3rdparty ng:

<<
1. Download the embedded version of firebird.
2. Extract the contents.
3. Copy the dll fbembed.dll into your application's folder.
4. Rename the dll to fbclient.dll
5. That's it.

>>

ok, I've done this, and it works, but apart from stopping the FireBird
services for the server, how do I know it's using the dll rather than the
FireBird server? I'm just reusing all the same components (in fact the ntire
datamodule) that I was using for the version that accessed the FireBird
server.

Also, the doco and other material posted on newsgroups suggest that the
encryption/security with the embedded version is somewhat weak. I would like
it to be password protected (at a file/table level) so no one could access
it programatically without proper permissions, and encrypted so people can't
read the raw data or make sense of the data if they do connect to it when
they shouldn't.

Thanks in advance!
