Are the following statements correct?
- Most Firebird client software still is 32bit (Flamerobin, IBExpert, Delphi 2009 and older editions) and therefore it requires 32bit Firebird 3.0 client dlls (fbclient.dll or gds32.dll) even if it connects to the 64bit edition of server.
- 64bit Firebird server can receive connections both from 32bit and 64bit clients.
- Both 32bit and 64bit Firebird server uses the same ODS (physical) file structure therefore DB.FDB created with 32bit server can be simply copied and used on 64bit server and vice versa.
