Firebird driver
Hello. I would like to know more about connecting to firebird databases. Could someone tell me which driver (the firebird one, not the libreoffice one) and where to get information about it? Regards -- *Juan C. Sanz*

Plus I read that the distinction between embedded / classic / super has disappeared with Firebird 3. Maybe Firebird 3 will not have the same issue? -- Lionel ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
Endianness issue in Firebird driver (bug 72987)
Hi, The basic idea to solve this bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/72987 was to replace .fdb file stored inside the .odb file with firebird's archive file format. The problem is that the embedded server seems to be not fully supported on Linux (http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/ufb-cs-embedded.html). If I understand correctly, ours is actually not an "embedded server", but a "classic server", which validates every login against the security database (security2.fdb). The backup of the database can be made through the Service API of firebird. We need to pass a user (and a password). The Service Manager tries to validate our user by checking the "/usr/local/firebird/security2.fdb" security db, which does not exist in our case. An idea was (if I got it right) to override path above to our libreoffice install directory, so we could have a default security database that the Service Manager can check. I went through the docs and had a look at the firebird source code, and it seems to me that unfortunately we cannot override it at all. I hope you have a good idea for that. regards, Tamás Bunth ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
