IBExpert Portable: The Ultimate On-the-Go Tool for Firebird & InterBase

Portability best practices

• Keep credentials secure: do not store plain-text passwords in portable config files unless encrypted. Prefer prompting for passwords.
• Carry the correct client library version matching target Firebird/InterBase servers to avoid incompatibilities.
• Avoid relying on system registry entries. Use options that allow configuration files in the portable folder.
• Maintain a small README inside the portable directory documenting how to run and any required runtime dependencies.
