Ladies, gentlemen,

InterXpress for Firebird is our driver that supports Borlands
dbExpress technology! Today is the launch of version 1.0 final
for this driver which includes bugfixes related to transaction
and error handling and procedure parameter issues. You can
download a copy of it right here. Currently supported are
Delphi 6, Delphi 7, Kylix 3 and C++Builder 6 (non tested -
comments welcome!).

With InterXpress for Firebird you have guaranteed access to
Firebird and all its features. The driver comes in three versions:

- Desktop Edition
- Server Edition
- Server Edition with Connection Pooling


Desktop Edition

The Desktop Edition is aimed at deploying and developing
applications that use a localhost or local protocol connection
and accepts up to four connections per client process. The
license includes full rights to deploy the driver at any number
of sites for any number of workstations.


Server Edition

The Server Edition is aimed at deploying and developing applications
that require a remote connection (client/server) and allows
unlimited connections from a single client process. The license
includes unlimited rights to deploy the driver at any number of
sites for any number of workstations and/or servers.


Server Edition with Connection Pooling

Basically the same as the "Server Edition" but with internal
connection pooling. Specifically useful for application servers
and webserver applications without having to build a connection
pooling mechanism - this driver already has it! Instead of
pooling the dbExpress connection (an added layer by Borland),
it pools the actual database connection. So there's nothing you
have to change in your application!

All versions come with a full year of support and maintenance
updates. The support period can be extended at a reduced price
after the first year.
