Hi there, I've started a (so far futile) attempt to revive the firebird driver. I've installed the latest available version of the database (2.0.3) engine on FreeBSD 6.1. After a good helping of PITA due to the lack of usable documentation I managed to get to a point where I managed to create databases, connect to them, and drop them again. The libdbi driver would not even compile due to some minor issues which I managed to fix. Nevertheless, the driver then just segfaulted when I tried to connect to a database.
I went through the API documentation (which must be utterly out of date as it recommends a function which has been flagged as deprecated 7 years ago) and fixed a few minor differences between the code in the existing driver and the recommended API usage. Regardless, the driver still crashes with the following backtrace: #1 0x2852ceb4 in return_success () from /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so.2 #2 0x28525179 in REM_attach_database () from /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so.2 #3 0x2851386a in isc_attach_database () from /usr/local/lib/libfbclient.so.2 #4 0x284ece8e in _dbd_real_connect () from /usr/local/lib/dbd/libdbdfirebird.so #5 0x284eba19 in dbd_connect () from /usr/local/lib/dbd/libdbdfirebird.so #6 0x2808011d in dbi_conn_connect () from /usr/local/lib/libdbi.so.0 #7 0x0804982a in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbfea2c) at test_dbi.c:91 I've checked all strings and pointers in _dbd_real_connect() but I can't see why the driver should cause a segfault. Has anyone had success with the firebird driver on any platform lately? Did anyone succeed on FreeBSD? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
