But for anyone wanting to use the Firebird.NET data provider for Interbase, i guess they can try it - but of course you will not support it. The main reason we are using it, is because of its speed. Also its very stable, and we have not seen any stability issues with it at all. Sure – I agree.

I have not tested it with previous versions. But i DO know that its much quicker than using the Free Interbase ODBC Driver. And also, the Firebird Client is working like a dream with RemoteEvents. So - as far as i can see - its actually 99% ALL GOOD :-) Just having a problem with using it with Interbase for Entity Framework, which im trying to resolve now. :-) Peace Out! Hi,

Hence the note about tweaking. The old protocol is still in FirebirdClient, but we’re also using some Firebird only related commands. Hence the note about tweaking.

And, because Firebird has changed it's protocol between client and server, FirebirdClient is incompatible with the Interbase, while fbclient.dll is not (because fbclient.dll can support older protocols, depending on the server).
