The nice thing about FB embedded client is that it can work as a local
firebird server to your application while developing but also as a firebird
client to connect with another server when deployed. I've used it this way
without any problems and it serves a dual purpose by allowing users to
download (in a number of different ways) a copy of the database to their
local machines and using it locally without affecting the server copy. I
build many of my programs to operate either stand alone or connecting to a
server. Using the same firebird embedded client files for both makes this
much easier, IMO.
