Entityconnection & Firebird
Posted: Tue 22 Dec 2015 10:30
Hello,
I just bought Entitydac for redesigning a huge VCL application (already using UniDac) to ORM and Firemonkey. I don't know how to connect to firebird as it always searches for gds32.dll. Of course I can rename the lib but I am sure there is a way like in UniDac to supply dll and also port in the connection string. I found one in the forum for IBDac but connection attempts complain about unknown parameter "Client Library":
DB.ConnectionString :=
'Data Provider=UNIDAC;SQL Dialect=Firebird;Data Source=localhost;' +
'User ID=sysdba;Password=masterkey;Client Library=fbclient.dll;" +
'Database=d:\_work\emilpro\_bin\emil.fdb;Port=3050';
UPDATE: Works like a charm if I omit "Client Library" parameter. Port parameter works. For any reason it did not work by filling out the connection form in the IDE.
