In this video, Stephen Ball, goes over the InterBase XE database, the low-cost, lightweight, embeddable database, giving a basic introduction to IBConsole.
Watch
Learn about the various options you can choose and why the default options are typically the best.
Watch
Learn how to add tables. You are also introduced to InterBase Domains which help manage field types consistently across your database. This speeds up database administration and assists with table-wide consistency in your data mode.
Watch
Stored Procedures allows business logic to be centralized when updating and selecting data from the server. Stored Procedures also reduces network traffic and increases user security.
Watch
You can use Generators from negative Integer to positive Integer to get unique values for use in primary keys, for example.
Watch
Triggers centralize business logic into the database by notifying you of changes to data either BEFORE or AFTER it happens. This ensures that checks and changes are run in a consistent manner, no-matter who or what program is connected to the database.
