Joost Hi,
in TIBConnection there is a property Hostname. So, people expect to
put
there the Server Name or IP and the location of the DB in the
DatabaseName property. But in IBConnection unit in
isc_attach_database,
only the DatabaseName is used.
Can you submit a bug-report to www.freepasbal.org/bugs ?
I don't see any reason. :)
In Lazarus 0.9.14 Beta for Win32 in interbase unit there is :
FSQLDatabaseHandle := nil;
if isc_attach_database(@FStatus, Length(DatabaseName),
@DatabaseName[1], @FSQLDatabaseHandle,
Length(DPB), @DPB[1]) <> 0 then
CheckError('DoInternalConnect', FStatus);
but in fpc/fcl/db/sqldb/interbase HEAD ( checked out today ) in same
interbase unit there is :
FSQLDatabaseHandle := nil;
if HostName <> '' then ADatabaseName := HostName+':'+DatabaseName
else ADatabaseName := DatabaseName;
if isc_attach_database(@FStatus, Length(ADatabaseName),
@ADatabaseName[1], @FSQLDatabaseHandle,
Length(DPB), @DPB[1]) <> 0 then
CheckError('DoInternalConnect', FStatus);
SetDBDialect;
so there is no issue for TCP/IP Remote connection, only for WNET (
NetBeui ) for windows.
Maybe a Win32 ifdef property named, let's say, Protocol with enumerated
values ( Embedded, TCP/IP, NetBeui ) must be implemented for Win32 ?
I'm still looking at the code to be familiar with it ...
regards,
