Search for 'Interbase Service' on www.delphi3000.com

There is an article that gives Delphi examples.

I can think of a few things.

1. use a socket component to connect to the interbase port 3050. if the
connection is made you know interbase is running unless your running it
on another port, this is true for NT and Windows 98, I haven't tested
linux. You can then test to see if the database is present by then
attaching or connecting to the database with your database components
connected value. This way you know that interbase is running and you
also know that the database is present and if one fails the
troubleshooting is easier.
