In VB, we use connection string, not DSN... I know it's not a Revolution
issue, but could you give-me more information about remote databases and
DSNs? (I will not program for Macs, only for IBM, in both Microsoft and *nix
plataforms).
In Windows 2000:
Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Data Sources (ODBC) | User DSN or System DSN | Add | Select Driver | (now what you see depends on which driver selected)
If the ODBC driver supports remote databases, then you will see a "server" or "hostname" field to type into. Not being a firebird user I can't give any more details than that.
For Unix you will have to either compile everything- or download the commercial drivers from IODBC. I've never used IODBC on Unix- it's always seemed too complicated to bother with, when native drivers are also available for most databases.
Indeed, there is a ODBC driver for FireBird, and works fine, but, as I said,
VB works with connection string (which gives me possibilities to declare
provider (FireBird ODBC), host, database (in host), username and password.
In ODBC with DSN, I can't declare host, thus, only local databases can be
used =(
There must be more than one ODBC driver for Firebird then. Maybe you don't have the client-server ODBC driver? There are two different firebird versions right- single user and multi-user? Maybe you have the single-user ODBC driver. Just a guess.
