[firebird-support] accessing firebird on windows from linux

[robert rottermann rob...@redcor.ch [firebird-support]]

Hi there,

I try to access a firebird db on windows from my ubuntu box.
I have a gui-tool (FlameRobin), from which this works nicely. Therefore 
it is not a firewall or access problem.

Now I would like to do it using python and sqlalchemy.
So far I failed..

This is the connection string I use:
engine = 
sa.create_engine('firebird+fdb://SYSDBA:thekey@10.42.1.150:3050///c:\\Users\\elvis\\Documents\\VAS.fdb')

I tried many combinations of the part after the port.

thanks for your hints
robert
