InterBase ToGo Mobile Edition

Go Up to SDK Pack Registration and Licensing

InterBase supports both the iOS and Android mobile operating systems and the InterBase ToGo Edition is available for the these platforms via RADStudio XE6. VARs and OEMs can build applications for mobile platforms using InterBase by linking their applications with InterBase ToGo.
The databases deployed on the mobile device can either have centralized user authentication through the admin.ib, or use EUA to control user access within the database. Note that EUA use may limit the need to deploy admin.ib on the target mobile device for database access.
