Dear All,

 

We have now solved the problem about running Firebird 64-bit ODBC on Windows
7 x64 by installing the Firebird 64-bit Server onto the PC running Windows 7
x64.

 

This is because Firebird 64-bit ODBC requires gds32.dll to be available.

 

We can run 32-bit application properly on Windows 7 x64 now.

 

Thank you very much for your kind help on this.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tee

Dear Sadek,

 

Could you please let me know how to use the Firebird ADO.net provider?

 

We have to get the database connection working soon.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tee

I had many issues with Firebird ODBC, especially when the OS is 64 bit. 

The only workaround I found, is to use the Firebird ADO.net provider and not
the ODBC

Best regards,
Sadek

Dear Thomas,

 

Thanks a lot for your message. The application is 32 bit.

 

First I tried 64bit ODBC driver (2.0.0.151) on Windows 7 x64. The driver was
installed properly. Then I configured the ODBC connection via Control Panel
à Administrative tool à Data Source (ODBC). When I tried connection test it
gave the error message “sqlcode-904 fbcode 335544375 – Unable to connect to
data source: library ‘gds32.dll’ failed to load”.

 

I then removed the 64bit ODBC driver and installed 32bit ODBC driver
(2.0.0.151). The driver was installed properly. However it did not show up
in the ODBC Data Source Administrator using Control Panel à Administrative
tool à Data Source (ODBC). Therefore I did not know where and how I should
configure the ODBC connection.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tee

This depends on your client application and not on your server. If your 
client application is 32-bit then the 32-bit ODBC driver, otherwise 64-bit.
