Firebird Database System

The card_1 system manages the card_1 project data in a database system. By default, card_1 Version 9.1 requires Firebird version 3.0.1. The installation of the database system is automatically launched during the installation of the card_1 system (see section Installing/Checking Firebird).

Please use the version recommended by IB&T only. The installation program provides an option to explicitly check the Firebird version.

Should you wish to install the Firebird database server on a workstation other than the one card_1 is running on (e.g. when accessing a project compilation folder by multiple card_1 users) all of the operating systems listed in section System Requirements are supported. Additionally, the operating systems Windows Server 2008/2012 are supported. The Firebird database server must be installed on a Windows server operating system.

NOTE  An existing firewall may interfere with the communication between card_1 and Firebird.
