Subject Issues with embedded server and UDF
Author Rafael Szuminski
Hi,

I have run into an issue with the 1.5 embedded server that I
unsuccessfully tried to solve for a couple of days now. Here is the
issue:

I get this message when trying to use any function from the FreeUDFLib

"invalid request BLR at offset 270
function F_LEFT is not defined
module name or entrypoint could not be found"

or this one if I try to use a function from ib_udf.dll:

"Access to UDF library "ib_udf.dll" is denied by server Administrator."

I get these errors with both IBexpert and when using the ODBC driver
in my applciation. I tried the following permutations in firebird.conf
to solve the issue:

UDFAccess = Restricted UDF
UDFAccess = Restricted c:\test\UDF
UDFAccess = Restricted \UDF
UDFAccess = Full

I also tried it with the following settings:
ExternalFileAccess=Full
and
RootDirectory=c:\test

Is there something special that needs to be done with the embedded
server to get it to work? (I just downloaded the zip and extracted all
files, afterwards I placed the FreeUDFlib.dll in the udf directory)

Any info on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rafael
