This could indicate that you were previously using Classic or 
SuperClassic (which opens a database with a shared filelock), and are 
now using SuperServer (which opens a database with an exclusive filelock).

Re: [firebird-support] Using FB 3.04 with Delphi 10.2

Sounds to me you are using local access to the database, either in the 
IDE or when running the program (or both).
Does the connection params contain a hostname or ipnr? If not, it's 
probably a local connection. In that case only one process can connect 
to the db. The IDE (connection component) may be stay connected, so when 
running the program you get this error.

   Yes. Read "Compatibility Issues" chapter in Release Notes (or better read 
whole of them).

[firebird-support] Using FB 3.04 with Delphi 10.2

2018-12-20 Thread Alan J Davies alan.dav...@aldis-systems.co.uk [firebird-support]
Hi I use FB3.04 and Delphi for writing the front-end programs. I had no 
problems with FB 2.5 for years, but now I've upgraded I have problems 
every time I run a compile and run cycle.
I get the error - "Error while trying to open the file - the process 
cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

The file in question is the database so I have to close the database 
every time I make a change which means I cannot check what's going on in 
the event of an error. Then everything works perfectly.
This did not happen with FB 2.5
Is there a setting or something similar in FB to allow this?
The OS is Windows 10, 16GB, SSD drives

Thanks
Alan

   Firebird 2.5 is in official Ubuntu 18.04 repositories. Just use 'apt-get 
install 
firebird-2.5'. It may be a bit outdated though...
