Firebird SQL Server - MAGIX Edition

What is Firebird SQL Server - MAGIX Edition?

Firebird is an open source SQL relational database management system. The Firebird native API is used directly or indirectly by applications or middleware that connect to a Firebird database. It is implemented in the client library, fbclient.dll, on Windows.

Overview

The most common release is 2.1.32.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named fbserver.exe. The setup package generally installs about 23 files and is usually about 12.5 MB (13,110,696 bytes).
