no need to get involved with socketserver etc unless you are dogin things
the hard way for learning..
did you retore your database at school as a dialect 1 database? if you
restored it as dialect 3 you will get errors from the intersolv driver.
ADO and ODBC is not the best way to do it anyway.. why that choice?
You would be better off using the dbexpress driver from ibphoenix or the IBX
components in delphi or IBObjects components which may be free to you if you
are at school and studying it..

Subject: [ib-support] interbase driver problem


I have made a Delphi test-application using AdoComponents, an
Interbase-database and the intersolv odbc driver(as supplied with the
firebird-version of interbase). It works fine on my development-
machine(WindowsXP), but when I transfer it to a computer at my school
(Windows98), I get the message: "Optional feature not implemented".
Subsequently the application opens 'fine' but I cannot load the
database.
In my test-application I set the connectionstring for the
AdoConnection-component programmatically, i.e. I use the Opendialog
to insert the path and name of the database.
It may well be that the intersolv odbc driver for interbase is not
the best solution and that other drivers are available that I do not
know about (I am definitely an amateur). In the near future I want to
convert this test-application into a Midas Client/server program
using a Socketconnection and the Borland Socketserver.
Can anybody help?
