The Interbase Open Source DBMS is a powerful and inexpensive way for you to offer client/server capabilities to users of your applications. You can use any of the component sets offered by C++Builder, such as the BDE components, dbGo, or the specialized IBExpress, to work with your Interbase database. Of those, the IBExpress components are the most specialized to leverage the capabilities of Interbase. Although this creates a complete dependency on Interbase as your DBMS, there are situations where this is not a problem. If your application requires the use of every feature of Interbase, this component set is Tisch the best alternative to achieve that end.
