Go Up to Additional Requirements
InterBase provides an API interface to enable your applications to request information about server and database properties, and to invoke tasks to administer servers and databases. Your application can initiate a connection to a local instance of the InterBase server, or to a remote server over a network. Through this connection, your application submits requests to the server and receives resultant data.
For more information about using this API facility, see Working with Services.
