Hi,
Here's my proposal. Please say whether you find place for more improvements.
Package: libfbclient1
Description: Firebird client library
Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-92 features that
runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers
excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support
for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in production systems,
under a variety of names since 1981.
.
This package contains the client library required to connect to
Firebird. It works with either firebird2-super-server or
firebird2-classic-server, as well as commercial InterBase servers.
.
It uses TCP to connect to the server and is tread-safe.
.
For direct (non-TCP) database access, see libfbembed1.
Package: libfbembed1
Description: Firebird embedded client/server library
Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-92 features that
runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers
excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support
for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in production systems,
under a variety of names since 1981.
.
This package containst libfbembed1 - the embedded client/server library
for Firebird.
.
It can work with remote Firebird servers (either super-server or classic)
via TCP connections, in the same way libfbclient does.
.
Contrary to libfbclient1, libfbembed is not thread-safe.
.
When working with local database libfbembed works directly with the
database file without the need of a separate server process. It needs a
separate lock manager -- fb_lock_mgr -- that is in firebird2-classic-server
package.
.
If you are in doubt, you most probably need libfbclient1, instead of this
package.
thanks,
dam
