I would expect Delphi Enterprise and Delphi Developer to both include
the same version of Interbase, IOW InterBase Developer edition.
InterBase Developer edition should not allow TCP/IP connections other
than localhost. Note that I'd expect NetBui to work.

Don, while this means you cannot currently test accessing a remote IB
server, as per one other post of mine earlier, IB was built to be a remote
database server - if you have your connection working using tcp/ip locally,
then it will work against a remote server of the same version.

We all want the very best, and we want it for nothing...
I'm as prone to that as anyone.
Someday, I will almost certainly buy the full version
that works over a network connection. I am sure the
testing I do now will still apply.
Until then I will use the 6.0 FULL version under GPL
from MER.com. (I still don't understand why te 6.0
version seems to be in the public domain, but I am lucky
it is!)
Of all the DB packages I have looked at, IB seems to
be the most stable and easiest to work with.
For as much as we complain, we can all still do some
amazing things.

IBServer on, the open source IB 6.0 may still be perfectly fine. Just be
aware that it is getting rather old now - 6+ years, and is not able to
properly handle multi- or hperthreaded cpus (IB 6.0 must be pinned to a
single processor in these cases) and also suffers at the hands of Window
Restore in XP and 2003 Server (and newer) due to the .gdb extension being
included by MS for that feature - however at least this can be turned off
for the drive or whole system. Other than those two things though, IB 6 is
perfectly fine, just lacks all the newer features and performance
enhancements that have been added in subsequent versions.
IB 6.0 is the only open source version of IB and has not and will not be
enhanced.
