Problem: What's new in InterClient 1.5? Solution: InterClient is a high-performance all-Java JDBC driver for the InterBase Server. It is a Class 3 networked driver, incorporating a database-independent remote protocol. Because InterClient is written in Java, developers can write database applications and applets without regard to client hardware or operating system platform across the Internet, on corporate Intranets, on local area networks, and on local machines. The changes and new features in this release include the following: * Vastly improved performance -- up to 30x faster when storing and retrieving BLOBs * Support for 20 international character sets -- including European, East Asian and Unicode FSS sets * Resource bundles for easier localization NOTE: The InterClient v1.5 software can only establish connections to servers running InterBase 5 software. If you want to use InterClient with InterBase 4.0 software, use InterClient 1.1 instead.
