RE: [DUG] Unavailable Database

[Trevor Jones]

Don’t forget that the local database must be truly local when using fbembed.  i.e. you can’t have a connection string like: “localhost:c:\databases\mydb.fb”, it must be just be just “c:\databases\mydb.fb”.   You might also need firebird.conf and firebird.msg in either your app’s directory or the directory where you install the dll, I can’t remember which.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Middlemiss Sent: Friday, 29 April 2005 11:48 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Unavailable Database   Thanks Trevor - I've located the embedded server zip file and read the instructions and it still doesn't work, but I'll get there. I'm sure it's just a matter of having the right file(s) in the right place. Cheers, Phil.

Is there a way to embed it inside another installer? What are the issues with user rights?

I had a read of the firebird "Quickstart Guide" which mentioned I needed two files, gds32.dll and fb32.dll for a client install - I can only find the first one on my machine. Am I missing something here? The client machine doesn't need to connect to a server - just a local file. Do I still have to install a firebird server as a service on the client machine to connect to a local file? I *am* missing aren't I? Phil. _______________________________________________Delphi mailing listDelphi@ns3.123.co.nzhttp://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphiRegards Rohit ======================================================================CFL - Computer Fanatics Ltd.  21 Barry's Point Road, AKL, New ZealandPH    (649) 489-2280 FX    (649) 489-2290email [EMAIL PROTECTED]  or  [EMAIL PROTECTED]======================================================================  _______________________________________________Delphi mailing listDelphi@ns3.123.co.nzhttp://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi         _______________________________________________Delphi mailing listDelphi@ns3.123.co.nzhttp://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________Delphi mailing listDelphi@ns3.123.co.nzhttp://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
