The result should be the same as "select first 8 skip 2 from TBL_TEST

I'm not familiar which the technique SQLite uses.

It might be an option to modify code and compile for your own.

As long as your 64Bit Linux does have support for 32Bit and the required

You can use database encryption for that purpose - without knowing the
encryption key there is no way to access database.
In FB3 there is a new plugin mechanism for encryption added you should
have a look ath that.

It cannot be done when both machines have to access database at the same
time.

1) Are there any adverse conflicts between IB6.5 and Firebird in a

As long as the data file is created and accessed by the IB6.5 server
only no damage should occurr.

You have to recompile with 64Bit compiler - either Delphi or FreePascal.

Hmmm. Can I run a 2.5 server on another port, and access the same database?
One database can only be served by an single instance of FirebirdSQL.
