Why do you need that? All my tiOPF based apps, and tiOPF itself
doesn't contain such a line, yet I connect to Firebird without
problems.
Just curious, as this is the first time I hear about that function call.
The call is implicit when you connect to firebird for the first time
with SQLDB.
It loads the library, and then loads all entry points it finds.
It just means that in your case, the library is always correctly found.
(which is a good thing)
Importantly, I think that all of the database packages have now been
updated to allow the location of the library to be passed as a
parameter, which means that a privileged user no longer has to set up
symlinks etc.
Grepping the case of PostgreSQL, it appears that this was introduced in
2.6.0 (what I wrote earlier was pessimistic, I should have checked the
current release).
