Hello all,
I have a Database Program (MaxControl2)and it uses firbird. When I
install the program it installs all of its files in C:\MaxControl2.
I can see the executable and the database file (Maxximus.GDB) along
with .ddl's, Isu's, DAT's and other files it needs to operate. There
are 2 configuration files, but they don't appear to offer any line
item that allows you to change the location of the database file.
Could it be that I just add a new section, example: [SYSTEM] then
define my path?
Is there a way to tell the program to look for its database file at
\\My_Server\C:\MaxControl2?
Our company started out with 1 computer and we now need 3 computers
to access the same database file.
As I have already tried to figure a way to do this, I come up with
ideas from the Unofficial Firebird Installation page at
http://www.alanti.net/firebird/inst/index.html
It appears that some sort of script might be able to help me?
Am I on the right track? Or lost?
I have tried to follow the instructions to generate a script, but the
script file is very complicated. If I am on the right track does
anyone have an example script that can help me understand what all
the paramerters are?
Logically thinking, it seems i have to somehow fool, or redefine the
program into thinking its database is in a different location.
Any help will be grealy appreciated.......mike
