So there isn’t any locking at all or only the
locking of the filesystem where the file is located (like MS Access is doing
when putting a file on a network share)…
I just want to give it a try and I know how risky
this feature could be and I’m just curious why this is not working since
the firebird.conf clearly states:
“Applications that use the
"embedded" variant of Firebird and never share access to a database can
use this option to permit direct access to databases on NFS mounted volumes.”
And that’s what I need but it’s not
working….

Boolean parameter which, if set True, allows the
engine to open database files which reside on a networked filesystem (NFS)
mounted partition. Because the filesystem is beyond the control of the local
system, this is a very risky feature that
should not be enabled for the purpose of opening any read/write database whose
survival matters to you.
does it matter to you?

Hi
everybody,
I just had the problem
that it is not possible to access an embedded firebird DB-file located on a
shared network drive…
I thought the
“RemoteFileOpenAbility” is exactly what I need to do this –
but I get the error:
“I/O error for file
CreateFile (open) \"here comes the path” \r\nError while trying to
open file"} System.Exception
{FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbException}”
Any idea why this
happening? I have complete access to that folder (read and write) on the
network drive…
Thank you!
Daniel
it's not possible - embedded needs to make an exclusive lock on the
file and that can;t happen over network drives with unknown OS's at the other
side. Can;t be done - if you want to share a db then use the full server
Alan
But
what can I do with the „RemoteFileOpenAbility”
flag in the firebird.conf file then? It seems to me that this is exactly what I
need to “override” the security issue and access the file or am I
wrong?
