>I use Interbase (6, now 2007) for my daily work. Can I try Firebird 2.1.3 without uninstalling IB?. I've read in the Firebird Quick Start Guide that Firebird 2 "..can also run concurrently with ... Interbase servers. Setting this up is not a beginner's task though.". That scares me 'cause I'm really very unexperienced and I usually freak out with tricky installations. I can't halt production right now because I'm in the middle of a yearly process. Eventually I'm almost certain I'll move to Firebird, but I would like to have hands on experience in advance, while I read Borrie's book.

The detailed instructions are in Chapter 9 of the Firebird 1.5 release notes. You can download them from either the Documentation Index page or the Firebird 1.5.6 Download page. But one is prompted to question why you would aim to be using a production server as a private experimental platform. Tell us more about the architecture of your network and where your own computer fits into the picture.
