Problem: I need to distribute a database on CD. Is this possible with InterBase? I also need to access the database from machines with InterBase 3.x on it. Solution: /*******************************************************************************/ Note: The information in this article applies to InterBase v5.x and InterBase 3.X /********************************************************************************/ You can distribute a 3.x backup on the CD with a script to restore it on the hard drive of the machine running InterBase. InterBase requires read/write access to the database file to register transactions, so the database can't be run directly from the CD. The 3.x backup will be restored in the right format for 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x.
