Access to any data source is a function of the availability and capabilities
of the provider. That is, if there is an ODBC driver, OLE DB provider or
..NET managed provider available, you'll be able to access the data source.
How much you can do is a function of how much the provider can do.

Hi Willam,

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you have mentioned,but do we have
provider for Interbase access using .NET (ADO.NET) ?

I would suggest that you check the documentation that can with your copy
of Interbase to see what type of providers are supplied. Or you can go
to Borland's website and check there for what providers are offered.

Hi,

There are also some 3rd-party .NET managed providers available for
Interbase database. Here is one of them.

Depends on your interbase version. The Firebird .NET provider
(http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php?op=devel&sub=netprovider )
can connect to interbase 6.0, as firebird is based on that codebase. If
you're using a later version of interbase, I don't think it will work.
