Good day
\-\=-\=-=\-\=-

I have sat down and looked at the source of the Delphi program that works
with the database as the idea that the trigger on the database is giving a
problem does not
make sense and this is the result.

I have a Delphi server program and a Delphi client program that runs on the
same database. Client is Delphi 3 and Server is Delphi 5.
The client program starts a business trigger and the server then tries to
act on this trigger, but its connection that is setup in the BDE as
localhost:d:\db\promed.gdb is then dropped. in the sense that I get a 10054
error locally at the server. It seems this is happening at a other client also
but from the client machines also. Will the server program really have a
problem if there is a problem with the networkcard as locahost is the
loopback device that
is 127.0.0.1 ???

Any help will be apreciated.

Interbase version : 5.6
Database sizes from : 250 - 830 MB

Other strange events :

When trying to get the connection user list of the interbase database I get
a connection lost to database. After that the server crashes and need to be
restarted.

PS : Has anybody noticed that if the alias via BDE to the interbase
database is <servername>:d\db\promed.gdb (Notice there is no : after the
first d) and there is a network share for D. Then SOMETIMES on some
networks there is a problem that if this method of connection WORKS then
the datbase gets corrupt FAR bejond repair. I get the Idea that it uses
network cache or something and is out of sync with the machines OS cache.
Very odd. ??? Thanks


Thanks for any help in advance
