Firebird (Win32) 2.5 is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
This relational database accomplish with the current SQL standard.
You can configure Firebird to run as a Service or as an Application, starting it automatically or manually. Besides there are a couple of additional recommended items to install: the Guadian utility and the Control Panel Applet. Both of them will allow you a better control and server monitoring. However, Guardian is not available for Classic Server running as a service. Super Server uses a single process for all connections while Classic Server creates a process for each client. The Symmetrical multi-processor is only for Classic Server.
There is no GUI; however there are third party GUI options for a better management and administering of the Firebird databases. Its installation process is very easy to perform; select the properly options according to the needs or purpose of your database; take a look to the documentation before to install. Its documentation is installed with the RDBMS; there is also more documentation available on its website.
Firebird (Win32) runs in Windows platforms.
