	It depends what you're doing. See this comparison I wrote:

	SQL-based.

	Right now, it's essentially dbExpress only.

	Yes.

Blackfish vv Interbase
Fri, 29 Feb 2008 08:51:01 +000
I've been using Desktop Interbase for 10 years of more, but am having 
trouble getting deployment licenses for the latest (and only) Vista 
compliant version.

Should I be changing to Blackfish?

What is Blackfish,  is it SQL based or more like DBase/Paradox?
I presume I will have to change all my data accesses from IBX to 
something different.

Is Blackfish seemlessly upgradeable to a client server environment?

Maybe there is some documentation somewhere that somebody could point me to.

Thanks in advance

	Oh, also ADO.NET 2.0, if you're writing a .NET app.
