Article #25550: Do I need InterBase to be able to use InterClient / InterServer

Problem:
I'm a java developer and I downloaded your InterClient 1.12.  I don't have
InterBase, but can I still use InterClient and develop software with it?

When i try to run InterServer from my installation, there is an error
message that says:  "Can't find GDS32.DLL"    

   What's wrong?

Solution:
InterClient and InterServer are designed to connect to InterBase
servers, and they cannot be used without InterBase  The GDS32.DLL file
that InterServer is looking for is the InterBase client library.  The
InterBase client library must be installed on the machine running
InterServer.

If you need a JDBC driver that can connect to other types of
datasources, you must get a JDBC driver from the vendor 
of that datasource technology.
