Article #25600: What is the gds_pipe5 process?

Problem:
I have a pid called gds_pipe5 running on my system.
What is this process ?

Solution:
The information in this article applies to:
  * InterBase v4.0 on unix platforms

gds_pipe5 is the bridge to allow the 4.0 server to connect to 3.3
databases.  If it is running, then you must have a database that has a
3.3 ods version (7.2).  The 4.0 server cannot inherently connect to 3.3
databases, thus we added the bridge so that 4.0 could still use 3.3
databases.
