Database Platform

Firebird Database Server

Projetex 2006 uses Firebird SQL Relational Database Server as its ‘heart’, which powers Projetex 2006 Database.

Firebird is a multi-platform open source database server based on the source code of Interbase, released under the General Public License by Borland Software Corp. on 25 July, 2000. Current version 1.5.2 of Firebird Database Server has been released on 26 December 2005 and contains numerous enhancements compared to original release.

What does it mean for you?

Zero additional cost now.
Firebird Database Server does not require additional licensing (even for commercial use), and as a result, we did not have to add database license mark up to final price of Projetex.

Zero additional cost in the future.
Firebird Database Server is free of any license fees even for commercial use. Therefore, when you team grows, you will need to upgrade only your Projetex software. There would be no need to purchase additional license for upgrade of the database server.

Continuous further development.
As Firebird Database Server does not belong to any commercial corporation, there is no risk of it becoming obsolete because of some corporate decision to stop further upgrades. It is being continuously enhanced and developed by open-source community of software developers.

Using Projetex 2006 does not require any knowledge of inside workings of Firebird Database Server. All database set up and maintenance tasks can be easily performed using Projetex 2006 Server Administrator.
