Hi!
I'm testing Interbase 6.0 / Firebird 1.0 with an XTG odbc driver. There's one thing I don't understand - when I create a DSN the driver asks for 'Interbase database path'.
In PostgreSQL (or any other normal RDBMS!) you have to give the host
ort information, which is quite natural. Now, while the IB solution works just fine on a single machine, I have no idea how to make it work on separate machines (server / client). An obvious solution is to give the client access to the server's filesystem, but that's not what remote databases are all about, rigth? So, my question is: is there a way to make this work in the hostort style without using the IB native API?
Thanks.
