Interbase XE Desktop doesn't permit TCP connections. Can Unidac still work with it or does only work with Interbase Server edition ? I don't see any way to specify filepath for database filename in Unidac.

Hello,

To work with InterBase without using TCP connections, you must not set the TUniConnection.Server property. If TUniConnection.Server is blank, UniDAC uses local protocol to work with InterBase. You can specify the path to the InterBase database in the TUniConnection.Database property. Here are code examples:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  UniConnection1.ProviderName := 'InterBase';
  UniConnection1.Server := ''; // local protocol
  UniConnection1.Database := 'C:\ibxe.gdb';
  UniConnection1.Username := 'sysdba';
  UniConnection1.Password := 'masterkey';
  UniConnection1.SpecificOptions.Values['ClientLibrary'] := 'gds32.dll';
  UniConnection1.LoginPrompt := False;
  UniConnection1.Open;
end;

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  UniConnection1.ProviderName := 'InterBase';
  UniConnection1.Server := 'localhost'; // TCP
  UniConnection1.Database := 'C:\ibxe.gdb';
  UniConnection1.Username := 'sysdba';
  UniConnection1.Password := 'masterkey';
  UniConnection1.SpecificOptions.Values['ClientLibrary'] := 'gds32.dll';
  UniConnection1.LoginPrompt := False;
  UniConnection1.Open;
end;
