consult the Interbase 6.0 API Guide for additional information on subjects like parsing the status vector, information request items, and the meaning of operations. Unless otherwise indicated, a client sent together with a different operation. Versions 11 and higher of the wire protocol explicitly support (or even require) deferring of operations, including deferring the read of the response.

Local connections On Windows, both architectures now support safe and reliable local connec- tions, with only the server process requiring access rights to the performance in case of a small number of connections that do not influ- ence each other.

No SMP support. On multi-processor Windows ma- chines, performance can even drop dramatically as the OS switches InterBase. Hence, it is not possible to run both a Firebird server and an In- terBase server on the same machine with these versions - at least not at the same time. This restric- tion has been removed in Firebird
