{{Note box| What is this page about, for what purpose and what is Firebird please? What is SS or SC versions}}
==About Firebird==
Firebird is an open source SQL relational database management system that runs on Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and a variety of Unix. The database forked from Borland's open source edition of InterBase in 2000, but since Firebird 1.5 the code has been largely rewritten

Classic (CS) or Superserver (SS) ?
Firebird comes in two flavors, called architectures: Classic Server and Superserver. Which one should you install? That depends on your situation. A short overview of the most important differences follows.

Additional note by TDBSOFT 1/1/2017<br>
There is a minor bug in the firebird-superserver service when you run the command<br>
<pre>
service firebird-superserver start
</pre>
<br>
This will show the following result
<br>
<pre>
Starting Firebird server [default] /usr/bin/dirname: extra operand `-daemon'<br>
Try `/usr/bin/dirname --help' for more information. [ OK ]
</pre>
<br>
To resolve this issue edit the file /etc/init.d/firebird-superserver and change the line below<br>
<pre>
daemon --user=$FBRunUser "export FIREBIRD LD_LIBRARY_PATH; $GUARDIAN -pidfile $pidfile -daemon -forever"
</pre><br>
to
<pre>
daemon --check="X" --user=$FBRunUser "export FIREBIRD LD_LIBRARY_PATH; $GUARDIAN -pidfile $pidfile -daemon -forever"
</pre>
<br>
