compaq-proliant:c\DATA\MyData.fdb is correct.

Hi,

When I connect under my IDE RAD using FireDAC driver the syntax
"compaq-proliant:c\DATA\MyData.fdb"  works


Only in FlameRobin it does not work.

This configuration is NOT "local".  It is client/server. "Local" means
server and client running on the same box.

1.  You need a full Firebird server installed and running on
compaq-proliant.  Look at the property sheet for the Firebird service
and tell us what version and model of Firebird server you have on that
machine. (V. 2.0, 2.1, 2.5, 3.0; model Classic, Superserver,
Superclassic).  (Copy the line labelled "Path to executable").

2.  Flamerobin and the matching client library (fbclient.dll) should
be together on the remote client (the Vista box).

3. Show the full connection parameters you are supplying to Flamerobin
(tcp/ip connection path, user name, password...well, don't tell us the
password, just put a placeholder there.)

4.  Write down any error messages that appear in Flamerobin when you
fail to connect.

5.  Look at firebird.log in Notepad and copy out anything near the
bottom that looks like an error.

6.  And, as others suggested, check that port 3050 *on the server* is
not firewalled.

You are mixing up access to a remote database (only fbclient.dll
needed) and the Embedded Firebird server (fbembed.dll, renamed to
fbclient.dll).

Re: [firebird-support] deploy Windows Application to access Firebird database

[Alain Bastien alainbast...@gmail.com [firebird-support]]

Does it apply to remote servers also such as

www.myserver.com:/opt/database/fbdata.fdb

The release note README file in the embbeded zip says:


//
 2.2. Database access

Client access can be only via the local protocol,
i.e.
*NOT a TCP/IP connection string that includesthe server name
"localhost" or IP address 127.0.0.1.*

The embedded server supports only the local connection
to a database file path without a server name.

The database file can be accessed by multiple client
programs. The database consistency in this case is
guaranteed internally (by the shared lock table).

///


Has this been updated in the Firebird 2.5.6 ?

The absolute minimum you need is the fbclient.dll (same 32/64-bitness
as your application). I put it in the same folder as my application's
.exe file so it can be found easily.

My customers can start the application from a share's UNC path without
installing anything (DB driver, Aliases etc.) on the local client
machine. All they need is the link to that UNC path.

1. fbclient.dll, the same version as the remote server and of the same
"bitness" (32/64) as your client app

2. firebird.msg, if you intend to use the services API

3. The icu* libraries, the same bitness as your application

4. The Microsoft C/C++ runtimes, the same versions as are present in
your Firebird for Windows installation kit, match bitness with your
fbclient.dll.

Note, the correct icu* and ms dlls may be present on the client system
already.

Make sure all are visible to the application's PATH configuration.

Helen
