Binary data should be able to be represented with hexadecimal. And, don't forget that whatever is chosen has to be easily implemented when using Entity Framework. We are looking at implementing our own encryption plugin, but still undecided how the key will be passed, since our application uses a mix of Delphi(IBDAC) and C#(EF6). Our initial thought is that it will have to be on the server with the database, since we can't find proper documentation on how to pass it from the client, even with the database management tools, although it is part of Firebird's architecture. It seems to be one area that third-party tools and components haven't taken much time implementing, maybe because that there is no disk encryption plugin provided out-of-the-box with Firebird, and not enough user interest. Having said that, keep up the excellent work Jiri. And, I'm hoping that I will have the time in the next few weeks to create a VSIX installer for DDEX, because the registry entries are not staying and I have to add them everytime that I need to add EF6 classes to represent tables. Once created, it will surely be contributed to the project. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc. (www.accra.ca) ACCRA Med Software Inc.

Once I have the time(hopefully within a month), I'll try to reproduce it with a database that contains one table with those kind of computed fields. There was another table that had one computed field, and that one was simpler in construct, and the Code First from Database wizard didn't have any problems with that table. So, it must be something with that one table in particular and the complexities of its computed fields. As soon, as I have a reproducible test case, I'll enter an issue in the tracker. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc. (www.accra.ca) ACCRA Med Software Inc.

Actually, it's not. I'm using the Firebird's default parameter syntax,
the question mark. And, I use "new object[] {paramValue1, paramValue2,
etc..}" to pass the parameters, and paramValueX are just simple
variables or object properties, don't have to be FbParameter. I don't
remember trying @p0, although I did try with actual names(i.e.:
@PDate), since it was also documented in the MSDN documentation, but I
was getting an invalid field error coming from Firebird.
But, as you mentioned, one might have to look at the EF6 sources to
find out the real behavior.

[Firebird-net-provider] Problem with setup in VS 2015
Hi all, I was able to connect in VS2015 and create some classes to represent a few tables(from an existing database) by using the "ADO.Net Entity Model" template, by using the "Code First from Database". But, something happened(and I don't know what) that now I can't get the Firebird ADO.Net driver to show up in the connection dialog for the "ADO.Net Entity Model" template or even to add connections in the VS2015 Server Explorer. I reinstalled the Firebird DDEX(3.0.2), and even ran the .reg files manually, and the Firebird ADO.Net(5.8.0.0) driver but no success. I even checked machine.config and all the entries are there. In the project, the Firebird drivers are added via NuGet. Also, this is on the latest version of Windows 10 and VS2015 is up to date. Is there anything else that I need to look at? If more information is needed, let me know. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior System Engineer ACCRA Solutions Inc. (www.accra.ca) ACCRA Med Software Inc.

Sorry, for not being clearer.
Here's the exact error message, that I receive when running from
Visual Studio:
[Error Message Quote]
An exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in
EntityFramework.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: No Entity Framework provider found for the
ADO.NET provider with invariant name
'FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient'. Make sure the provider is
registered in the 'entityFramework' section of the application config
file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more
information.
[/Error Message Quote]
Here's the code that I use:
using (var db = new FiloptoDataLibrary.FiloptoQuickBooksModel(new
FbConnection(vFBConnectionString.ToString()), true))
{
...
}
The FiloptoQuickBooksModel is inherited from DbContext, and was
created by the Entity Framework Tools Code First from Database wizard.
The vFBConnectionString is a FbConnectionStringBuilder.
And, in the project's App.Config, all the entries are there. But, the
project compiles to a .dll and doesn't have a .config file with
it(when compiled). And, since the application that is calling this
.dll is not a .Net application(it's a native Win32 Delphi
application), I am trying to find out how to setup the entity
framework provider for usage in the .dll. And, since it is possible to
register the entity framework provider in code, in EF6, I'm wondering
what would be the required code, when trying to follow the example
from Microsoft, provided in the link of my previous message.
I am using Visual Studio 2015, EF 6.1.3 and targetting .Net 4.6.2.
I did thought of using the EntityConnectionStringBuilder, but it is
looking for the metadata files(.csdl, .ssdl, .msl), which don't exist
in my case. Unless, there is a way to tell it to ignore the metadata
files, when using the EntityConnectionString, because at least here I
would be able to specify the provider.
If more information is needed, just let me know.

[Firebird-net-provider] Entity Framework 6
Hi, I'm trying to use the Firebird ADO.Net with Entity Framework 6. I'm able to create a code first model from an existing database. But, when trying to establish a connection, it is telling me that a provider is not registered. My scenario is that the connection is done in a DLL, not an EXE, and the main application's EXE that is calling this .Net assembly DLL is a Win32/Delphi application. I know that normally the provider information would be in the application's config file, but in this case the config file is not copied with the assembly DLL. I was reading on how to register the provider in code ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj680699(v=vs.113).aspx ), but I'm unsure what to put for the SetExecutionStrategy line in the example.

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Getting an assembly to accept more than one provider version?
Hi, Maybe this is more a .Net question than a FB provider question, but I think it may be of interest to most people using the provider. My problem is that I have an assembly that in the sources specifies SpecificVersion = false for the Fb provider assembly, i.e. it should accept any version of the provider. But the built assembly (the dll) becomes bound to the provider version present when it is compiled, in my case 2.5.0.0. Now, I'd like to upgrade to the latest provider version (2.5.2.0). Is there any way I can get the other assembly to accept the newer provider assembly without having to rebuild it from sources? If you reply with RTFM I'd appreciate pointers to relevant docs.

Hi,
I installed the Firebird .NET provider 2.6 and the VS 2010 integration.
Now I want to create a new connection in the IDE, and so I select the
firebird provider als the correct provider and set the options for the
connection (database name, etc).
When I click on 'Test connection' I always get a 'IndexOutOfRangeException'
from the provider. The stack trace points to the GetServerVersion() call.
In fact, it looks very like this issue here:
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-330
But that issue says it's fixed in 2.6 (which I use).
I also installed the DDEX integration.
I have the latest Firebird server and the 2.6 ADO.NET provider installed.
Firebird itself runs fine (I can connect to the database using IBExpert).
This small sample code here totally fails though:
try

FbConnection conn = new
FbConnection(@Server=127.0.0.1;User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;Database=C:\Users\smartBugs\Documents\PCTRADE.gdb);
conn.Open();

Could you try:

[Firebird-net-provider] Problem with trying to connect to a database
Hi,
I'm having a problem when trying to connect to a database, but I doubt
that the problem is with the Firebird Server.
The environment is Windows 2008 R2 standard server with .Net 4,
Firebird 2.5RC3 and Firebird ADO.Net 2.5.2.
The error that is returned is:
Exception Source: FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient
Exception Type:System.IndexOutOfRangeException
Exception Message: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Exception Target Site: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The call stack:

Int32 length)
at FirebirdSql.Data.Common.IscHelper.ParseDatabaseInfo(Byte[] buffer)

at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnection.Open()

The line of code that in the function HasTrigger, I do the following
check:
if (fbConnCommands.State != ConnectionState.Open)
{
fbConnCommands.Open();
}
And, I was able to confirm that the error is triggered by the
fbConnCommands.Open(). And, it is the first time that a connection is
attempted.
This is the error that is generated on a customer's computer. I don't
get this error on my computer.
Any ideas to help me debug this would be appreciated.

So there's no risk installing this update. This step will provide us option to use new features and make the code more clean and probably also faster. Taking into account limited resources project has, this will also allow focus more on new features. Until the official .NET 4 release there will be still support for .NET 2.0. But not after it. Builds for .NET 3.5 and .NET 4 will be provided on site as now. I would suggest that the version 2.x of the Firebird ADO.Net provider would be the last version to support .Net 2.0. And, that Firebird ADO.Net provider version 3.0+ will support .Net 3.5(with EF installed) and .Net 4(EF already included). And, of what I can see, there will most likely need two distributions(one for .Net 3.5 and the other for .Net 4), read it as being that the provider is compiled for each .Net version. 2. CSC 4 will be the official compiler. New compiler means (maybe) better code. New features and syntactic sugars means faster development. You don't need to build provider yourself so you are not affected by this. If you're building it yourself you don't need VS2010 to install. Just use CSC thru cmd/MSBuild and you're fine. [1] 3. Switching the solution(s) to VS2010. With 2. this is pretty obvious. As you're safe with us using new compiler, this is more true for new IDE. [1] I agree on points 2 and 3. What I don't know is whether there's some demand on VS2005 DDEX support dropping and extending support for new stuff in VS2008. VS2008 adds some really minor features, as far as I remember when checking it, so it's probably not worth doing it. But maybe you have different opinion. If it is to drop the support for VS2005 DDEX, then it would be to still keep it available for download, for those that might still need it. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.

Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Expanding mapping abilities for EF
Hi, At December-30-09, 2:40 PM, Jiri Cincura wrote: Hi *, I was thinking about supporting broader variety of datatypes (from .NET) in EF for mapping. We already had a request for direct guid support and since beginning we have (manual) support for bools. Unfortunately neither of these is available directly in FB, hence there's set of standard workarounds like char(16) octets for guid. And as we started supporting features not available in FB directly through autoincrement field via #PK_GEN# in comment, I would like to propose similar way for bool and guid. I don't like the way of guessing - char(16) octets = guid etc. It may work in 99 percent cases but, sooner or later you hit the wall with bad guess. So my propose is to override the datatype of column reported by provider for EF by two new magic keywords. For guids it'll be #GUID# and for bools #BOOL#. What I'm not sure about is whether do check for the datatype as well. Like smallint #BOOL# is bool, but timestamp #BOOL# is still timestamp. I'm more for blindly using the comment and leave the thinking to developer. Why? Because for i.e. bool you can have smallint, int, bigint and maybe decimal if you're brave enough. For guids with triggers and views maybe some crazy types. This shouldn't create any hidden places with potential error. As if the thinking will be wrong with first let's say insert you'll get an error. But that's only my view. Any comments, thoughts? What happens if someone uses another type for bools? As an example, I usually use CHAR(1) with the values T and F. If it can be configurable, with a default of SMALLINT, it would be even better. And, I could almost say the same for GUIDs, as some might be storing them in a VARCHAR(32), in another charset than OCTET. I currently use ECO and the GUID field is stored in a VARCHAR(32) UTF-8 field. And, don't try to automatically map to those types, because it's possible that someone uses a SMALLINT field as an actual SMALLINT, not a boolean. I could probably say the same for CHAR(16) OCTET, as you might be suspecting for that other 1%, where the assumption might be wrong. I would suggest, if it's possible, to simply give a warning to the developer that #BOOL# and TIMESTAMP don't match, but still let the developer use that combination. And, if an error occurs in runtime, then the developer will realize that it wont work. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.

Yes the Application is installed on every Client as all clients are Thick Clients. That shouldn't make any difference. Because, we have customers that have Firebird servers (Superserver) having over 40 active connections, using Win2003 Standard. When Firebird crashes, what is in Firebird's log file? Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but are you familiar with the concept of backup/restore? I am Familiar with the concept of Backup/Restore. Why? what has that got to do with this problem? Firebird will not automatically shrink a database, unless you do a backup and restore, using GBAK. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Solutions Inc.

[Firebird-net-provider] Problem integrating with VS 2005
Hi, I'm trying to integrate the DDEX in VS 2005, but I'm not being successful. I followed all the directions, even rebooted my computer, but no success. I can use the ADO.Net components in a Windows Forms application without any problems. But, I'm having difficulty trying to get it to work for ASP.Net and the DDEX integration. The error that I'm getting when trying to add a connection is An unexpected error occurred in the .NET Framework Data Provider for Firebird. Please contact the provider vendor to resolve this problem. And, I don't see the connections dialog. Also, I did install the VS 2005 SDK. Any help would be appreciated.
