Re: ODP: [firebird-support] Converting dates and the ISO-8601 format
Because I need a true client /server arrangement - from what I can see the embedded solution is really only for peer to peer connections on a local system. You cannot connect remotely or share data on a central server (there are also security restrictions from what I can see,)

Re: [firebird-support] Converting dates and the ISO-8601 format
ok thanks Lester, I will head over there and see whats happening. I like firebird a lot and have used it for years so Im kind of invested in it. In hindsight, perhaps - perhaps I should have gone with MySql (seems like everyone else has :)) You are right about it not getting much love, trying to find a web host that will run a firebird server is very hard and if you do - its usually a lot more than the same MySql service. Not sure why that should be, but hey ho - guess its what the market will bear. Will head over to the list you mentioned Cheers,, Dave

And I just found out that with Firebird 3's authentication mapping, you can define a mapping that will automatically grant and enable a role. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel
