You should use the Firebird 3 client if you want all improvements in the wire protocol like: 1. New, more secure authentication (SRP) that allows passwords longer than 8 characters (note: users for the legacy authentication are separate identities from the users for the new authentication model!) 2. Encryption 3. Compression 4. Performance improvements in the wire protocol v13 (2.5.5 client library supports protocol v12 or lower) Other than that everything should work. Mark
