Query FIREBIRD 2.0 Database

[nevodj]

Hello,

I can't find anything helpful in the forums about querying a Firebird database.

Does anyone know if this can be done and how?

Thanks

Hi nevodj, see

#include <FireBird.au3>
Local $wer
Global $h_fbDll = DllOpen("C:\bird\bin" & "\fbdll4vb20.dll")
Global $servername="192.168.0.5"
Global $sDBName="C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\Zimkps.gdb"
Local $sUsername = "sysdba"
Local $sPassword = "masterkey"
;_FireBird_Help($h_fbDll)
_FireBird_ConnectDatabase($h_fbDll, $servername, $sDBName, $sUsername, $sPassword)
;_FireBird_About($h_fbDll)
;_FireBird_Help($h_fbDll)
ConsoleWrite( _FireBird_ExecuteStatement($h_fbDll,"select * from tubaina"))
exit

Thanks detefon

I dont really understand dll calls or firebird.. i'm an SQL fan and have never touched one of our systems which is running on firebird... i have the firebird database on a windows server, does this script require firebird to be installed on the client machine before the script will connect?

the filepaths to the dll and the .gdb, are they were the files are located on the server or the client?

Global $h_fbDll = DllOpen("C:\bird\bin" & "\fbdll4vb20.dll")

Global $servername="192.168.0.5"

Global $sDBName="C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\Zimkps.gdb"

thanks for your help

Hi nevodj, now with more information! 8D

Good luck!

#include <FireBird.au3>
Global $h_fbDll = DllOpen("C:\bird\bin\fbdll4vb20.dll")   ; path from 'fbdll4vb20.dll' in client side.
Global $servername = "192.168.0.5"      ; Firebird IP server
 
Global $sDBName="C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\Zimkps.gdb"
; The line above is the path from 'Zimkps.gdb' in the server
; You must write a script client with a path server from .gdb file
Local $sUsername = "sysdba"
Local $sPassword = "masterkey"
_FireBird_ConnectDatabase($h_fbDll, $servername, $sDBName, $sUsername, $sPassword)
ConsoleWrite( _FireBird_ExecuteStatement($h_fbDll, "select * from tubaina"))

thanks champ, couple of things i still dont understand:

1.

Global $h_fbDll = DllOpen("C:\bird\bin\fbdll4vb20.dll") ; path from 'fbdll4vb20.dll' in client side.

does this mean firebird has to be installed on the client?

2.

; You must write a script client with a path server from .gdb file

... could you explain here?

thanks!

[Client side]

Global $h_fbDll = DllOpen("C:\bird\bin\fbdll4vb20.dll") ; path from 'fbdll4vb20.dll' in client side.

The AutoIt do not have parts to connnect in firebird, you must have download this dll (fbdll4vb20.dll) and put in someplace, maybe in the same folder like your client's script or another folder... This is only the path's dll.

I make the test with script a long time ago... I cant' remenber now if is necessary install firebird client or only download fbdll4vb20.dll and use that.

I know a little of MySQL, and it need only to connect: IP, username, password... Nothing more.

[server side]

Firebird needed: IP, username, password and the path's DB (or $sDBName).

This path is a place's from .gdb file in the server machine.

After you install a firebird module server in your 'server' and create your database's firebird, you must find the folder's .gdb file.

Something like this...

Global $sDBName="C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\Zimkps.gdb"

Good Luck (II)!
