I think I see now how it works. ;-)

Using: install_super.bat FB_300_x64

I get the following executable path for the Windows service:
"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_300_4051\firebird.exe" -s FB_300_x64 -m


Using: install_classic.bat FB_300_x64

I get the following executable path for the Windows service:
"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_300_4051\firebird.exe" -s FB_300_x64


=> Does that mean: We have a single executable in Firebird 3. When -m is 
used, this means a single server process and the SharedCache, 
SharedDatabase parameters controll whether it's SS or SC. When -m is not 
used, then it's one process per connection thus CS.

Is this correct?


Thanks,
Thomas
