Hi Vimal, I got Interbase working and there *are* some traps. Therefore let me share my solution with this list: (1) Get Interclient 2.0 from http://inprise-svca.www.conxion.com/win_sources.zip (a link from http://www.inprise.com/interbase/downloads/) (2) Install (3) Get a recompiled interclient.jar from http://www.kpi.com.au/interbase/files/interclient.jar (the original will cause JavaVerify errors) (4) Overwrite interclient.jar (the test applet will cease to work because some applet-specific classes were omitted in new .jar - ignore) (5) Get Firebird 0.9.4 from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9028&release_id=19364 (ie. http://download.sourceforge.net/firebird/fbinst_0_9-4_prod_2000_12_29-1.exe for Win2k) (6) Install (Firebird is Interbase 6.0 with OSS support - The version from Borland's site seems unsupported by both Borland and the OSS community now) Firebird is ~2 months old were Interbase6 is ~8 months old. This installs Firebird as a Win2k-service. (7) Using Interclient configurator, configure Interclient (ie., Interserver) as a Win2k-service. Start the service now. (8) Copy interclient.jar (the new one) to <OrionInstall>/lib. (9) Copy firebird.xml (cf. my attachment #1) to <OrionInstall>/config/database-schemas (I have seen many Interbase schemas - most of them had a bug. Mine follows the Borland Application Server 4.5 Spec for Interbase 5.0 plus 6.0 additional datatypes. Reserved words are incomplete!) (10) Modify <OrionInstall>/config/data-sources.xml to include the datasource (cf. my attachment #2 as an example - MODIFY!!) (11) Restart Orion and deploy your application. Hope this gets YOu up and running and saves YOu this weekend ;-) Falk Langhammer ----- Original Message ----- From: Vimal Patel To: Orion-Interest Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2000 10:44 PM Subject: Re: Win2k Pro. is mess... choosing the right database product Can you tell me what data-source settings you have to get interbase working with orion and the driver version. I can not get it to work with orion. Also if you could mail the database-schemas for interbase I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Vimal
