using backslash in alias on linux does not work
-----------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5624
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5624
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 2.5.7
Environment: ubuntu linux 16.04 lts fb257 sc
Reporter: Holger Klemt
Priority: Minor
a backslash in alias seems to be a problem,
this alias does not work with isql
e:\db.fdb=/db/db.fdb
this alias works fine with isql
e:/db.fdb=/db/db.fdb
aditional Infos from Alex Peshkoff:
This is a bug in aliases parser - slash is replaced to OS-specific slash in
alias to resolve,
but not replaced in an alias read from aliases.conf. I.e. if you write
e/db.fdb=/db/db.fdb
both e/db.fdb & e\db.fdb will work from isql
based on my tests, using / in alias definitions can really be used as \ from
commandline,
but isql for example on linux needs " around connection string
Entry in aliases.conf
e:/db.fdb=/db/db.fdb
succcessful connections:
root@IFS01:/opt/firebird/bin# ./isql "127.0.0.1:e/db.fdb" -user SYSDBA
-password masterkey
Database: 127.0.0.1:e/db.fdb, User: SYSDBA
SQL> exit;
root@IFS01:/opt/firebird/bin# ./isql "127.0.0.1:e:\db.fdb" -user SYSDBA
-password masterkey
Database: 127.0.0.1:e:\db.fdb, User: SYSDBA
