Subject Lack of interest in Firebird/JDBC combination? was FW: [ib-support] How to connect with SQL dialect 3 using interclient (JDBC)
Author Agustin Gonzalez
Herbert,
I downloaded the interclient 2.0 compiled with the JDK 1.3. But now, the
interserver (V1.60) is complaining of a incompatible direvers (see stack
trace at the end).

It seems to me that I also need a new version of interserver but I don't
know where to find it...

IMPORTANT NOTE TO EVERYBODY IN THE LIST:
I only got ONE response to my email about issues with JDBC (thanks
Herbert!). To me this is a strong indication of a lack of people using
Firebird with Java. This is a shame since I think this is where the
potential of firebird is: a robust, open-source, RDBMS with a robust, fast,
up-to-date, JDBC driver. I am willing to contribute to this effort (i.e.
building & maintaining an open-source JDBC driver for Firebird) if nobody
wants to lead it or join the firebird/JDBC group if there is one. I believe
RDBMS are almost commodities today and their functionality stable and well
known. This is a great opportunity for Firebird to establish as the leader
in the open source RDBMS. But I believe Firebird won't achieve a
leadership position without a good, solid, up-to-date, open source, JDBC
driver.

You need to use interclianet 2. You can get a compiled version 2.01from
the Firebird project on sourceforge.net

Subject: [ib-support] How to connect with SQL dialect 3
using interclient (JDBC)


I have interserver 1.60 and Interbase 6.0. I am trying to connect to a
"SQL
dialect 3" database in Interbase 6.0 using JDBC. Then I get the error:
"Client SQL dialect 1 does not support reference to DATE datatype"

I looked in the javadocs in the interserver docs but I can't seem to find
a
way to set the dialect property. Anybody knows how to do this?

Thanks,
