[DUG] D2010 and Firebird - REVISITED

[Geoff & Jacquie]

Hi All

I have downloaded the Free FireBird driver, Paul Hectors link below, but am
at a loss as to using it with D.Pro 2010. I currently use Delphi 7 with FB
embedded and am trialing 2010 since it looks like I HAVE to upgrade this
month!

In D7 I just rename fbclient.dll and replace gds32.dll with it, then chuck
it, along with icudt30.dll icuin30.dll icuuc30.dll into the program
directory.

Thanks in advance
Geoff

Hi Rohit,

There are a number of third party options for a lot less money then
the price difference between professional and enterprise. I cannot
believe Embarcadero has not put the Firebird driver in Professional.

Commercial dbx drivers
http://www.devart.com/dbx/interbase/
http://www.upscene.com/products.dbx.dbx_fb.php

Free one

Best regards,

Paul
