About InterBase
InterBase is a SQL database characterized by low resource requirements and the ability to be embedded directly within applications. It can be used on desktop computers, mobile devices, and servers.
An embedded database of this kind is typically used where an application needs its own, bundled data storage without operating and administering a separate database server, for example in line-of-business applications, mobile applications, or measurement devices with local data storage. The target audience is development teams who want to ship applications with built-in data storage.
This distinguishes InterBase from large, independently operated database servers that centrally hold data for many applications at once: InterBase is designed for tight embedding within a single application and for platforms with limited resources, which is why it is classified under both development tools and database tools.
For universities and research institutions, InterBase can be relevant when an easily integrated, bundled data store is needed for in-house software or measurement applications, rather than operating separate database infrastructure.
