This is done with an IBX TIBDataBase component with C:\Windows\Temp\TempDataBase0.FDB in its DataBaseName property and using the method CreateDataBase. In PC1 (the server) this works fine (obviously using the right Windows Temp directory) but in PC2 (the client with Windows 98), the CreateDataBase fails and gets the message "unavailable database".

Reason: The database engine does not reside on PC2. Any RDBMS database
engine is a stand-alone application that your application communicates
with, using simple commands (SQL at the conceptual level).

How to solve it:
(a) refactor so you don't need a temporary database
(b) refactor so the temporary database resides on the server (PC1)
(c) install the DBMS on PC2.
