I just announced on Embarcadero behalf the release of a new version of InterBase
I just wrote a blog post on Embarcadero community site to announce the release of InterBase 2020:
https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/interbase-2020-released-by-embarcadero
Main feature is the addition of tablespaces, which allow you to customize the mapping of tables and indexes in different files, possibly on different file systems. There is also support for macOS 64 and Android 64 as part of the embedded versions (IBLite and IBToGo). InterBase is a really unique and very poweful database engine, and one worth considering for mobile, desktop, and servers alike.

InterBase 2020 Released
We're using IBToGo with great success on Android and iOS. Having
the same engine available for mobile as well as desktop is great for
sharing code between all platforms. The one thing that's missing
though is the ability to execute Interbase UDF on mobile platforms. I
understand the reasons why UDFs aren't available but that causes
some annoying limitations that would be easily solved by putting
some more basic functions into the Interbase engine itself. Basic stuff
like strlen, substr would make some things a lot easier.

Also GUID generation functions. That would be good to have in the
Interbase engine for use on mobile devices where UDFs are not
available.

InterBase 2020 Released
Intebase is a great thing, very powerfull and simple to build database
logics.
I think it could be very successful if the SQL language were extended,
some functions inside triggers and stored such as:
- GUID generator
- HASH function
- String Functions like TRIM, Pad, Substring
- Tokenize for varchar
and a few others create severe restrictions on use.
Writing UDF for basic function is not a good idea beacuse it limit the
portability of your work.
