Hi

I am interested in your producst but am unable to use the demo's with firebird. Is Firebird absent in the demo's or am I missing something.

I would prefer to use the compiled demo instead of installing the products.

hope someone can help

Thank you.

The IBDAC demo can be used with Firebird the same way as with InterBase.

In the UniDAC demo you should select 'InterBase' in the combobox in the connect dialog.

When I do this, the server and database dropdown lists are both empty. So I have no idea how to connect to a database. The demo does not seem to come with any sample databases either.

I am quite new to Firebird, therefore I am probably missing something obvious. hope you can help.

Thank you.

You should create a database yourself before running the demo. You can use some tool for InterBase/Firebird. For example, you can download IBExpert:

http://ibexpert.net/ibe/

After you have created a database, run the demo. Press the 'Create' button on the toolbar to create database objects used by the demo. In the connect dialog, enter the host name where you have created the database into the Server field (LOCALHOST, if you have created the database on your computer), and enter the database file name with the full path into the Database field.
