Firebird® SQL RDBMS Server on Windows Server 2019

Firebird is an open-source SQL relational database management system offering many ANSI SQL standard features that runs on Windows. Firebird offers excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers.

The open source Firebird relational database management system performs excellently and scales impressively, from an embedded, single-user model to enterprise-wide deployments with multiple 2Tb+Gb databases running with hundreds of simultaneous clients.

One of the key Firebird features is its multi-generational architecture, which enables the development and support of hybrid OLTP and OLAP applications. This makes a Firebird database capable of serving simultaneously as both an analytical and an operational data store, because readers do not block writers when accessing the same data under most conditions

High compatibility with industry standards on many fronts makes Firebird the obvious choice for developing interoperable applications for homogeneous and hybrid environments.

Also included in this Windows Server 2019 image is DBeaver GUI. DBeaver is a database administration tool. For relational databases it uses the JDBC application programming interface to interact with databases via a JDBC driver.
