Re: [firebird-support] Cannot open database file in local hard disk

[Marsupilami79 marsupilam...@gmx.de [firebird-support]]

Hello Eduardo,

you might want to check the setting DatabaseAccess in firebird.conf. If
it is set to None or Restrict for some reason the behaviour you describe
can happen.

Best regards,

Jan

[firebird-support] fbclient: What to do after "Error readin / writing data to/ from the connection"

[Marsupilami79 marsupilam...@gmx.de [firebird-support]]

Hello,

some of my client seemingly have a faulty network and get the following errors 
ocassionally when running my program while it tries to execute a query:

Error writing data to the connection.
Error reading data from the connection.

What do I have to do from an fbclient point of view to gracefully close the 
connection and release all ressources? Is this even the right list to ask these 
questions?

With best regards,

Jan

Re: [firebird-support] Is this a bug of Firebird?

[Marsupilami79 marsupilam...@gmx.de [firebird-support]]

Hmm - Delphi and Free Pascal do exactly that - they emit a warning, that
the first assigned value never gets used.

Re: [firebird-support] Firebird for Android

[Marsupilami79 marsupilam...@gmx.de [firebird-support]]

Hello,

it has been my plan to test firebird for Android during the next week.
There seems to be a small howto on building Firebird for Android:
http://mapopa.blogspot.de/2013/09/building-firebird-client-for-android.html
My aim would be to see wether there is an embedded database already.

Also I seem to remember that the changes for Firebird 3.0.2 contain two
lines about Android.

With best regards,

Jan

The problem there would be that the BDE has reached its end of life for
some years now...
