To discover how to secure files in your particular operating system refer to relevant documentation for that operating system, to discover how to apply user and object security in Firebird databases connecting to the database require direct access to the database file itself. All access goes through the server process, which accesses the database file as needed to fulfil requests. It is the server that restricts

If it exists, it is available everywhere attachments to Superserver, even root trying to connect locally without “localhost:” in the database file string, will be rejected by the remote interface if a correct login is not supplied. • Embedded access

The use of Firebird is governed by two licenses: remnants of an old (and maybe long gone) InterBase or Firebird installation floating around your system (DLLs, Registry entries, environment variables…) 3.1.

Before installation  If you’re installing Firebird on a system where Firebird has never been installed, you can skip this section. It is almost always advisable

Thanks to everyone who has contributed database, be it single or multiple file, a number of things happen: • The database file(s) are created; • The header page is formatted and written; • The various system tables — RDB$ and MON$ — and associated

and 2.1 Quick Start 4 The Firebird licenses Firebird is a free, open-source database management system, but “free” does not mean that everything is per- mitted. The use of Firebird is governed by two database file. Local connections On Windows, both architectures now support safe and reliable local connec- tions, with only the server process requiring access rights to the database file. Multiprocessor the process between CPUs. To prevent this, set the CpuAffinityMask parameter in the configuration file firebird.conf.

of page buffers and so on. Gfix is a general purpose tool for system administrators (and database owners) to use to make various 'system level' changes to their databases. Almost all the gfix commands name is the name of the primary database file which for a single file database is simply the database name and for multi-file databases, it is the first data file added. Coming up in the remainder of this manual, we will discuss the following: • Command line options for the gfix database utility. • Shadow file handling. • Cache and buffer handling. • Transaction management. • Cache management. • Starting
