System Requirements
Chapter 1
InterBase Server runs on a variety of platforms, including Microsoft Windows NT 4.0,
/Linux
operating systems.
The InterBase server software makes efficient use of system resources on the server node;
the server process uses little more than 1.9MB of memory. Typically, each client
connection to the server adds approximately 115KB of memory. This varies based on the
nature of the client applications and the database design, so this figure is only a baseline
for comparison.
The InterBase client also runs on any of these operating systems. In addition, InterBase
provides the InterClient Java client interface using the JDBC standard for database
connectivity. Client applications written in Java can run on any client platform that
supports Java, even if InterBase does not explicitly list it among its supported platforms.
Examples include
M
acintosh and Internet appliances with embedded Java capabilities.
Disk space requirements
InterBase requires 35 MB for a full install that includes InterBase Server and Client, Adobe
During operation, InterBase’s sorting routine requires additional disk space as scratch
space. The amount of space depends on the volume and type of data the server is
requested to sort.
