Cross-platform embedded database

Borland InterBase® 7.5 raises the bar for performance and power in small-footprint databases.

Designed for use in the absence of a database administrator or IT support, InterBase is powerful enough to support mission-critical applications, yet compact enough to run on very modest systems. InterBase can be easily transported by disk, CD, or even dial-up download. And, unlike enterprise databases that require expensive ecosystems of support and maintenance, Borland InterBase requires virtually no maintenance.

What's New in InterBase 7.5

  • Multiple instances of InterBase can run on the same machine simultaneously
  • Global temporary tables implement the functionality of SQL global temporary tables, significantly easing application development
  • Automatic rerouting of databases allows a database administrator to set up a configuration in which some database connections can be rerouted to a different InterBase server instance on the same machine (Server Edition only)
  • Server-side database alias renames a database file within the context of the server, enabling clients to connect to a database without requiring knowledge of its exact location on a given server
  • Embedded database user authentication, a security enhancement in InterBase® 7.5, allows for the management of multiple databases for unrelated applications
