[firebird-support] Firebird's .NET provider is not listed while creating connection string
While creating a new connection string for my .NET 4.0 application, the Firebird's .NET provider is not listed in the available providers even after installing it. Visual Studio 2010 is only displaying the default providers that comes with it. It does display "Other" option, but when selected it opens a dialog to enter DSN name through ODBC. How to integrate Firebird's.NET provider into Visual Studio? I added reference to the necessary DLL, but it is not coming in the list. Regards, Rohit.

[firebird-support] How compatible is Firebird 2.5 and it's .NET provider with Visual Studio 2010 Entity Framework?
Hi, I tried dragging Firebird table on Visual Studio 2010 Entity Model, but it displays error: "Connection not supported". I am not able to establish Table Mapping with Firebird tables while I could easily do with SQL Server 2005. I have Firebird 2.5 SuperServer installed on Windows XP SP3 with the latest versions of ODBC and .NET Providers also installed. I want to know whether Firebird 2.5 is tested and compatible with Entity Framework that comes bundled with Visual Studio 2010. Regards, Rohit. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[firebird-support] Not able to migrate MySQL database using:
I tried to migrate MySQL DB to Firebird 2.5 IB DataPump, but migration fails. It successfully gets connected to MySQL (Source DB), but it is unable to set relationship to the Firebird (Target DB). Sometimes it even doesn't displays MySQL Provider in the ADO Source of the Source DB. Is there any other free tool to do the job? . Rohit. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[firebird-support] Newbies queries on type of data files and recovery options
Hi, I am a SQL Server and MySQL developer. I am aware of Firebird but never got opportunity to work with it. I want to use Firebird in one of my upcoming project replacing MySQL. While reading the documentation of Firebird, I learned that it supports single as well as multiple database files option. I have few queries in this regard: 1. Which is the recommended data file structure: `Single file` or `Multiple files`? 2. What is the table and data file max-size for version 2.5? 3. What are the common scenarios of a Firebird data file getting corrupt? In case of a single-file structure, I guess no other files need to be backed up? Regards, Rohit.
