Other things you need to know
Every database management system has its own idiosyncrasies in the ways it implements the SQL standard. Firebird adheres to the SQL standard more rigorously than any other RDBMS except possibly its cousin", InterBase®. Developers migrating from products that are less standards-compliant often wrongly suppose that Firebird is quirky, whereas many of its apparent quirks are not quirky at all but are the correct implementation of the ANSI SQL-92 standard.
A network address for the server
• The Server should always be assigned a static IP address.
• If you are on a managed network, get the server's IP address from your system administrator
NOTE: On Windows, it is possible to connect locally to the server, without using a local TCP/IP loop back. This is not a TCP/IP connection and it is not a thread-safe way to connect to a local server. We do not recommend using this type of configuration.
IMPORTANT
Data writes cache policy on a Windows server will have a significant effect on the speed of the Firebird database. See How Hardware can improve Firebird database performance? for more information on setting up your Write-caching policy.

Default Database user name and password
The Firebird Database is secured via a default Username and Password. Typically these security parameters are not required by the users. If you require these parameters please contact Accra Solutions Inc.
Encryption
The Firebird database is encrypted using an encryption algorithm managed by Filopto to secure the data it contains. You require the Filopto client application to be able to unencrypt the content of the database.
