Hi,

The client software has no idea about the server software. So its
perfectly ok to have a 32 bit client connect to a 64 bit server. Or
vice versa.

Don't know about the best componentset. Just search this forum for
their names and you will find a lot of info...

Depends on what you mean exactly:
1. Linux server with Firebird separate from computer running your
program: just use a 32 bit environment (e.g. 32 bit Firebird client
library and SQLDB or whatever component you want).

2. Linux server with Firebird is the machine your program is running
on.
2.1 Conceivably you could install the 32 bit Firebird client
libraries. Haven't done that yet. You might even achieve some kind of
embedded .so setup (IIRC, there's an entry in the Firebird FAQ at
http://www.firebirdsql.org
2.2 You could convert your code to 64 bit and use your components to
call the 64 bit Firebird library.
