In InterBase, readers do not block writers.

InterBase is a relational database management system ( RDBMS ) currently developed and marketed by Embarcadero Technologies.

In many respects, InterBase is quite conventional ; it is a SQL-92-compliant relational database and supports standard interfaces such as JDBC, ODBC, and ADO. NET.

InterBase offers the option to run as an embedded database or regular server.

InterBase was the second commercial database to use this technique ; the first was DEC's Rdb / ELN.

A transaction with snapshot isolation in InterBase shows the state of the database precisely as it was at the instant the transaction began.

* Firebird ( database server ), database management system forked from the open sources of InterBase from Borland

The database forked from Borland's open source edition of InterBase in 2000, but since Firebird 1. 5 the code has been largely rewritten.

When Borland eventually sold its Quattro Pro and Paradox products to Novell, where they would be joined with Word Perfect in an attempt to match Microsoft Office, Borland was left with InterBase, which Esber had purchased in the late 1980s and had its origins as a derivative of the RDB database work at DEC. Borland's ongoing strategy was to refocus its development tools on the corporate market with client – server applications, so Interbase fitted in as a low-end tool and a good generic SQL database for prototyping.

At the end of 2002, Borland released InterBase version 7, featuring support for SMP, enhanced support for monitoring and control of the server by administrators, and more.

In September 1991 Borland purchased Ashton-Tate, bringing the dBase and InterBase databases to the house, in an all stock transaction.

InterBase 6. 0 was made available as an open source product in July 2000.

Plans to spin off the InterBase division as a separate company were abandoned after Borland and the people who were to run the new company could not agree on terms for the separation.

Borland stopped open source releases of InterBase and has developed and sold new versions at a fast pace.

On February 8, 2006, Borland announced the divestiture of their IDE division, including Delphi, JBuilder, and InterBase.

InterBase is distinguished from other RDBMSs by its small footprint, close to zero administration requirements, and multi-generational architecture.

InterBase runs on the Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Solaris operating systems.

However, certain technical features distinguish InterBase from other products.

A full InterBase 2009 server installation requires around 40 MB on disk.

A minimum InterBase client install requires about 400 KB of disk space.

InterBase also uses its multi-generational architecture to implement rollbacks.

With their encouragement he formed Groton Database Systems ( named after the town, Groton, Massachusetts, where they were located ) on Labor Day 1984 and started work on what would eventually be released as InterBase.

The company was soon in trouble, and Borland purchased Ashton-Tate in 1991, acquiring InterBase as part of the deal.

In early 2000, Borland announced that InterBase would be released under open source, and began negotiations to spin off a separate company to manage the product.

When the people who were to run the new company and Borland could not agree on the terms of the separation, InterBase remained a Borland product, and the source code for InterBase version 6 was released under a variant of the Mozilla Public License in mid-2000.

Internet service providers typically provide recursive and caching name servers for their customers.

DHCP servers typically grant IP addresses to clients only for a limited interval.

Mapping messages into and out of MIME format is typically done automatically by an email client or by mail servers when sending or receiving Internet ( SMTP / MIME ) email.

Central servers are typically used for listing potential peers ( Tor ), coordinating their activities ( Folding @ home ), and searching ( Napster, eMule ).

While electronic mail servers and other mail transfer agents use SMTP to send and receive mail messages, user-level client mail applications typically only use SMTP for sending messages to a mail server for relaying.

Web site administrators typically examine their Web servers ' log and use the user agent field to determine which crawlers have visited the web server and how often.

Web servers can typically be configured to display a customised 404 error page, including a more natural description, the parent site's branding, and sometimes a site map, a search form or 404 page widget.

When a domain is registered with a domain name registrar, the zone administrator provides a list of name servers ( typically at least two, for redundancy ) that are authoritative for the zone that contains the domain.

Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers.

Based on traditional requirements ( RFC 1034 ), typically a minimum of two servers is required.

" Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more.

DC has typically been the dominant power source for telecommunications, and AC has typically been the dominant source for computers and servers.

Users typically log into the service with an ' anonymous ' ( lower-case and case-sensitive in some FTP servers ) account when prompted for user name.

Despite this, some MTAs, notably Exim and qmail, relay mail to servers that do not advertise 8BITMIME without performing the conversion to 7-bit MIME ( typically quoted-printable, " Q-P conversion ") required by RFC 6152.

When a remote client ( typically another mail server ) does an MX lookup for the domain name, it gets a list of servers and their preference numbers.

If both servers are online or in some way connected to one another, the backup MX will typically queue a message briefly and immediately forward it to the primary MX.

Sending servers that retry the higher MX records will be able to deliver their outgoing mail immediately, while servers like qmail will be delayed typically for an hour till the primary server allows it.

Registrars today offer end-user updating to their account information, typically using a web-based form, and the registrar then pushes out update information to other DNS servers.

By that time, most services had moved to client / server-based computing systems, typically Unix for servers and various Mac, PC, and Unix flavors for clients.

Reader servers typically also maintain a News Overview ( NOV ) database that allows newsreaders to quickly obtain message summaries and present messages in threaded form.

The released versions of LRP were small enough to fit on a single 1. 44MB floppy disk, and made building and maintaining routers, access servers, thin servers, thin clients, network appliances, and typically embedded systems next to trivial.
