The attachment is a memo I wrote to myself regarding the shift of perspective from a flat file (dBase, Access, Paradox etc) background to a client/server viewpoint. It offers no help for technical questions, but, it may be of some service to anyone struggling to understand the idea of using Firebird (or any client/server db). It occurred to me at least some "new users" of Firebird might find it of value.
