I have a cloud-service based on firebird databases. Every customer has his own database file. So many connection-definitions are loaded into my service at startup. This works all well.
Currently the load for the server is ok so the database files are on the same machine as the service itself. Later I could extend it by another server.
My question is:
Does it matter if I use a local firebird connection or should I prefer a remote connection (via TCP/IP). Although I am on the same machine.
Are there advantages / disadvantages or any limits? I got a lot of requests to this server.
I am using Firebird 2.5.7 (64Bit).

I have a database on my server which I could like to have on my laptop so I can use it for development. Is there a way to do this? I was using the default SQLite database with Django but now I'm using PostgreSQL which isn't part of the repo.
We have a windows server, where while installing Oracle, one database has been specified and created. I want to create an application in ORACLE on the same server, but I want to create and use a different database for this application. My mentor says that the server can hold only one ORACLE database and my request can not be implemented. Is there a way out of this ?
My EF tutorial project works fine on a machine with SQL Server installed, but when I move the project to a machine with no SQL Server installed, the code below fails:
Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<EmployeeDb>());
I'd like to get the project working on a machine which has only the SQL Server client not the server. I've experimented with connection strings in app.config without success. Help much appreciated.
you have install SQL server in separate machine and configure to connect from other systems and put that machine name(or IP address) in connection string.

Is it possible to access my oracle database from a separate system, other than the one on which the database is stored?
If yes, then how?
You can access the tables of a distant database by using your_table#your_database if you configured it properly.
Yes you can access your database which is on one machine( SERVER) from other machine (CLIENT). You need to install oracle client software on the CLIENT machine and then you can establish a connection to the server database through network . You have to use sqlplus to connect or if you are using windows then you can use tools like toad which will establish a connection between your client machine and database server machine .
Good day,
Currently I use MS Access at home for several Databases (for personal use).
At work, I use PostgreSQL, which is infinity times better. I want to start using postgres for my personally used databases, but I don't know where to start.
I've tried reading the documentation, but still don't know how to start. I don't have a server at home; is it possible I can just make a local database/tablespace? Or would I have to host a virtual server?
Note that I am willing to use other open source databases if there is an easy option out there - MS access is just so... terrible.
Thanks,
So, it seems you have Windows at home. You just need to download full installer for PostgreSQL:
http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/
After installation it will automatically add starting postgres server as a service on local machine. That means, server will always run in background, but you can disable that later, or just uninstall.
After that, you can use pgAdmin (included in default installation package) or other client tools to access the DB engine.
UPD in pgadmin, create connection with this settings:
'localhost' as hostname;
port - 5432;
user, database - postgres (for testing purpose only - you should create your own user and tables with restricted rights later).
Password for postgres (that is DB admin user) must be entered during installation process.
Server settings are stored somewhere here:
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\data"
pg_hba.conf - Client Authentication Configuration File
postgresql.conf - Configuration File
