Windows ODBC Drivers for Firebird & InterBase. Client Issues
Posted: Thu 11 Oct 2018 18:27
We have a very aged InterBase database file on a remote PC, and I have no idea on age/version. Previous drivers (XTG Systems Interbase6 & Firebird ODBC Driver) still working on old SQL Server machine. I am trialing DEVART's Windows ODBC Drivers for Firebird & InterBase in attempt to build new ODBC DSN on a 64-bit server (and later do SQL Linked_Server). Post-Add. I have determined targeted database is InterBase v6.0 | ODS 10.0 | Database dialect 3.
I have installed both your Drivers for Firebird & InterBase, and configured in ODBC Admin (64). I have also installed Firebird ODBC 2.0.5.156 x64.
When I try your Firebird driver, I get error "connection rejected by remote interface". I have verified LOGIN/PASS are same used in original server (working there). Post-Add. I have obtained 1 or 2 connections with "firebird" driver. Also get additional error of "Unable to complete network request to host "<server_name>". Failed to establish a connection." The remote computer (with db) is a PC in the manufacturing process area, so I'll see if I can remote in / get info of port # 3050.
When I try your InterBase driver, I get error "client library not supported". I have tried pointing to FBCLIENT.DLL & GDS32.DLL, both in the [C:\Windows\System32] folder.
I have no experience in the Firebird & InterBase areas, just MS-SQL. I wish I had more details on the error "connection rejected by remote interface". How do I confirm I have the right FBCLIENT.DLL & GDS32.DLLs?
Thanks in advance.
