There seems to be a high level of confusion about "embedded on Linux", so I'm sticking my oar in here. There is only one way to build an embedded app on Linux and that's by using Classic and the libfbembed.so client, i.e. Classic's original direct-connect mechanism. It *does* require the presence of the security database and authentication at login and it does not use a network method for the connection. libfbembed.so is NOT thread-safe. It presents the same API but, as to whether there is a Mono data access layer for Firebird that's equivalent to the Windows .net providers, Carlos could best comment. Embedded on Windows is a different thing altogether. For one thing, it uses the "Windows local" network emulator (IPServer) for the connection. For another, it is a single instance of *Superserver*. Of course, as you know, it bypasses the security database altogether and doesn't authenticate the user connection. And it uses Windows API function calls.
