InterBase 2017 is now available for installation directly into RAD Studio via GetIt for use in Delphi and C++Builder applications across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and also for Linux.
While a Linux InterBase Server Edition has been available for many years with InterBase, the introduction of the new Delphi Linux compiler in 10.2 Tokyo has ensured the addition of Linux as a new platform supported by ToGo.
Adding InterBase ToGo to the RAD Studio IDE
To install ToGo, just open GetIt in the RAD Studio IDE, (Tools > GetIt Package Manager) and search for InterBase.
From there you can install both the InterBase 2017 Developer Edition server and also the InterBase ToGo libraries.
InterBase Server enables multiple connections to the same database either locally or over a network. InterBase ToGo is a dynamically loaded version of the InterBase engine that runs in process for local connections and data storage or to act as a client driver for a remote conenction.

Slightly cheeky question, but I can’t find anywhere else to ask.
Is Interbase 2017 suitable as a backend database for a not very high transaction throughput buy & sell website?
InterBase Server is an excellent choice, and is used by quite a few high transaction websites.
