| PackageDescription | FireBird Classic w/ 64bit I/O - RDBMS based on InterBase 6.0 code
The "classic" flavour uses new process to handle every connection.
This results in somewhat slower operation (but it is said it is faster on
local connections than "super"), but also can operate on many processors
on SMP machines. This is the "traditional" flavour.
.
This package is compiled for 64bit I/O (Linux 2.4.X w/ newer glibc)
.
