I did download and install IBX, but then I found bug report http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13340 with sample code for regular sqldb.
Adapted this code*: (*Note: if you don't specify UseEmbeddedFirebird, you can rename fbembed.dll to fbclient.dll and get the same results - I'd wish somebody would implement the provided fix in issue http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=17664) //requires ibase60dyn in uses: UseEmbeddedFirebird:=true; IBConnection1.HostName := ''; IBConnection1.DatabaseName := DatabaseFile; // IBConnection1.Username := 'SYSDBA'; IBConnection1.Password := 'masterkey'; IBConnection1.Charset := 'UTF8'; IBConnection1.Dialect := 3; DBParams:=TStringList.Create; try DBParams.Add('PAGE_SIZE=16384'); IBConnection1.Params := DBParams; finally DBParams.Free; end; if (FileExists(DatabaseFile)=false) then begin SQLTransaction1.Active:=false; IBConnection1.Transaction:=SQLTransaction1; IBConnection1.CreateDB; //Create the database file.
