Firebird dll name

Ask · Post by **Ask** » 27.02.2006, 16:54

Since version 1.5, Firebird database uses fbclient.dll as default library name. However, ZPlainFirebird15.pas still uses gds32.dll as library name.
IMO, this should be fixed. I can provide a (trivial) patch, if needed.

Ideally this needs to be configurable since the library name depends on your configuration. I often work with the embedded version of Firebird 1.5 which uses fbembed.dll. Some users also rename fbclient.dll to gds32.dll for various reasons.

While we are at it, Firebird 2 support should be added. I also think there should symbolic constants defined for each of the protocols. When setting protocols in code I am forced to hard code the names which does not seem proper.

That would be nice! A configurable property in ZConnection which handle the library name. Shall we post it to sourceforge, as a request?

Sounds good to me. I have posted a request to Michael to join the Zeos team but have not heard a response yet. I like using Zeos and want to see it improve...

Does anyone know who is looking after Zeos and who the are Team members are. To me it looks like no one is really actively developing Zeos.
