and Blackfish SQL databases, and the Internet Pack component library.
Delphi Prism Professional: Delphi Prism Professional is the base edition of the product and includes the IDE with integrated Delphi Prism language, local database access to InterBase and Blackfish SQL as well as a copy of the Blackfish SQL database.
