Unfortunately, that will be an issue and I will need to reconsider my approach. Thanks for quick answer. Unfortunately, that will be an issue and I will need to reconsider my approach.

I would like to use embedded Firebird DB on my websites (after 2.5 version improvements), advantages are obvious (no need to install anything, all dll-s you can put in your web site bin folder and FDB in App_Data - I am using asp.net technology). My question is: does anybody has some experiences with this approach (Medium Trust shared hosting), and what limitation I might expect? How many concurrent users can be acceptable in such scenario, are there some known issues I need to be aware of and so? Is lack of security mechanism in embedded that big disadvantage for this approach? Thanks in advance.

As far as it’s a standard Firebird database you can use it with any Firebird user (probably sysdba) to access it. Does this mean that any one can copy my Firebird database file and attach with his/her server and get access to my data and procs? If So, is there any way to prevent this kind of activity? something like creating a user who is the owner of my database and make the data to be opened only by the same user/password combination in any machine?? (a weired guess..) Thanks Hi,

The protocol has some room for improvement, but it's not worth. Completely new, designed for i.e. Internet, would be better. 1> Yes.

My first concern is, whether the firebird DB file (as it is a physical file) can be attached to other Firebird server (running in any different machine) with any user / password.? Secondly, how is the performance of firebird in network (multi-user in Windows app.) because, the network performance of VistaDB is horrible. Can someone please throw some light on these issues? thanks Hi, I am planning to tryout firebird as i am having some serious network connecting issued with VistaDB.

Compared the syntax etc. to i.e. T-SQL, it's much cleaner. According to .NET provider, it's also open source, so feel free to step in and improve something.
