Subject RE: [firebird-support] Database on network drive?
Author Johan van Zyl
Hi
The way I see it -
10.0.0.2:c:\Program Files\Firebird\employee.fdb
will work or even
JVZ02:c:\Program Files\Firebird\employee.fdb
if JVZ02 is the name of 10.0.0.2
This won't work
10.0.0.2:x:\Program Files\Firebird\employee.fdb i.e. mapped drive
and I don't think this works
\\JVZ02\x:\Program Files\Firebird\employee.fdb
Cheers

The full server cannot do this, and rightfully so.

As for embedded, I must say I don't know.
