Review on Interbase by Lancy Rakesh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A reliable open-source relational DBMS

Interbase is a great database management system, and it has been around since the 90's. It is highly regarded and used in many environments. The database is the best part of it. Sometimes, you can't use your favourite tool when you need to. For example, I'm working with a legacy project that was using Interbase. We needed to integrate with our new web application, but we didn't have the source code. The only option would be to migrate everything to our new application. But we've heard that the new application is not compatible with Interbase. If you have a legacy project and you need to upgrade, you should try Interbase. It is a good database management system that has been around for a long time. It is compatible with many different environments and languages.
