[Firebird-net-provider] Connecting to encrypted databases

Hi *, thanks to IBPhoenix I have an plugin (http://www.ibphoenix.com/products/software/encryptionplugin) to create encrypted database and I have a working prototype for passing the key. Now the question of the day. :) How to pass the key? The two obvious options are in connection string and

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Connecting to encrypted databases

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Connecting to encrypted databases

Not exactly sure what you mean with right away. The reason to not use the existing ConnectionStringBuilder is that it is implicit that it can be converted to a string. Which would not be true anymore, except if you add EncryptionKey to connection string parsing anyway. On 12 July 2017 at 13:51,

[Firebird-net-provider] Global event on connection open

Hi *, I had a conversation with long time Firebird user. They I'd like to see very easy feature - global event that fires when some FbConnection is opened. The motivation is that sometimes there's some connection being opened from weird or wrong place and this would allow to hunt it down. What
