I've gone thru all the docs, looked up instructions on Google, but STILL I cannot get an embedded setup to work! There are really no consise instructions available that I have been able to find that take you from setup to creating a database, adding tables, fields, indexes, etc. I added the proper dll to my references section in VS 2005. I added FirebirdSQL.Data.FirebirdClient to the namespace in order to get some of my code to compile although it didn't tell me anywhere in the docs about doing so! Then from bits and pieces I fouind on the internet I finally came up with this...which is in Object Pascal btw as I use Chrome ontop of VS 2005.
First I name the variables: Var MyFBConnection: FbConnection; Var MyFBParams: Hashtable; //Then here's the code it tells me to run: DataStoreFile := Path.Combine(DataStoreDir, 'ProgManagerDB.fdb'); MyFBConnection := new FbConnection('ServerType=1;SYSDBA;Pooling=False;Password=masterkey;Dialect=3;DataBase=' + DataStoreFile); MyFBParams := new Hashtable(); MyFBParams.Add('User', 'SYSDBA'); MyFBParams.Add('Password', 'masterkey'); MyFBParams.Add('Database', DataStoreFile); MyFBParams.Add('ServerType', 1); MyFbConnection.CreateDatabase(MyFBParams); //Of course this won't compile because the error says the parameter for Createdatabase must be a string, but what string? I cannot even find this method in the help docs anywhere! And nowhere can I find out what to do next! All i want to do is set up a simple embedded server application, create and fill some tables with values, give them indexes, and be able to retrieve the data. According to what I was told, I should be able to do so without SQL, but I can't find any instructions! PLEASE help if you can.
