Hi group,

I've just installed the IB 6.0 Client on my new HDD (had a crash two weeks
ago and lost the lot). I have Firebird 1.5 installed on my FreeBSD box. I
can register the remote server from within IBConsole, and I can register a
DB on the FreeBSD box (note that this DB was created using IB 6.0 some time
ago). I can also connect to the DB, but when I try to retrieve a list fo
tables, or pros, or any other metadata from the DB (using IBConsole) I get
the following error message:



Dynamic SQL Error

SQL error code = -901

feature is not supported



Is this due to an incompatibility between the IB6.0 client and the Firebird
Server, or am I missing something her?

Using SQL Explorer, I can connect to the DB and view tables, procs, etc.
with no problems using an Interbase Alias.



If I appear to be something of a dweeb please forgive me, as I've been
pitched into Firebird rather unceremoniously. Due to a switch to FreeBSD
from Mandrake recently, we had to deploy Firebird rather than IB6.0 which is
not directly supported on FreeBSD.



Any help will be most appreciated.



Regards,

Norman

I want to make sure the client libraries of IB and FB can operate
indepentant of each other and not conflict. I read somewhere that
certain dll's of FB had not changed names after the split from IB
even though the core had been modified. This would suggest that which
ever client is installed last will overwrite the previous and that
connection. This may be fixed with the current release.

Since you are using AVG can you tell me whether the version of IB it
uses will cause such problems? I read the docs and it mentions
embedded FB. I don't know enough about all the options and versions
to guess which release that would be.

Thanx again,
TFehr
