I have tried that for Firebird 1.5, and yes, mostly all you need is
fbclient.dll. Firebird 2.0 shouldn't be that much different.

What a great system. I always install our application software
(together with fbclient.dll) to a directory on the client's file
server and they just run the .exe from there. There is no need for
them to install and configure clients or even aliases on all the
machines they want to use for tha app. That's very elegant and there
has been no problem so far.

(In comparison, when you want a machine to run an Oracle 8
application, IIRC the minimum client installation was about 50 MB or
so :-))

See http://www.destructor.de/firebird/1.5/minimumclient.htm
for more information.

Best Regards

Stefan
