Database installation

Only when you are using the members database on a Local Area Network or possibly the Wide Area Network (internet) will you need to install the database server. In the standard installation of the ASE Scorer the database software from Firebird is installed as part of the scorer. That is called the embedded version.

The embedded version will work with a server so long as that server has Firebird 2.5.1 installed. The non-embedded version of ASE9 is required when the server has a different version of Firebird or Interbase.

ASE Scorer 9 is developed and tested using Version 2.5 of Firebird. The earlier Firebird versions should work fine for most situations and was supplied in earlier installations of the ASE Scorer.

The ASE Scorer will also operate with InterBase  by Borland if already installed on your machine.

The recommended open source (free) version is available from FireBird. See http://www.firebirdsql.org/ for more details. Firebird install kit is available from this site.

The ASE Scorer is developed using Firebird 2.5
