dbExpress is a database-independent layer that defines common
interface to provide fast access to InterBase/Firebird. For
these servers, dbExpress provides a driver as an
independent library that implements the common dbExpress interface
for processing queries and stored procedures. As data-access layer is
thin and simple, dbExpress provides high performance database
connectivity and is easy to deploy. You can use our driver in the same way
