I have a simple app, which needs to run for a few users, written in C#.net. The users to not have the ability to run an install on their own computers, so we must install via a simple xcopy. Currently we are using SQLite, but the performance is pretty bad when the db gets a bit large.

Can I have a Firebird db file on a shared drive, and have multiple (two or three) users accessing it using the embedded edition of Firebird? I have read the existing similar posts and am still not clear if this situation is supported.

I cannot install a server, I cannot run a Windows install on the users' computers.
