Subject Firebird Root Directory Resolution
Author Richard Thomas
Hi All:
My application program access a Firebird Database. I'm getting a message
that Firebird can't open a file. The file is:
c:\OFBG\PC
This is the root directory of my Application program.
The Firebird Variable is not defined in the Environment Variables , at least
not for me as the user in Windows XP. Also, it's not defined in the
Firebird Configuration File and I'm guessing it's not in the Windows
Registry either. So, some of the Firebird utilities or internal processes
are likely using the Application's Root ie.
c:\OFBG\PC as the root directory according to my understanding of Root
Directory Resolution.
Now, since the user was specified as SYSDBA upon Firebird installation
should I add this user to the list of users in the Windows Admin Environment
Variables Properties?
Should I add a Firebird Variable to the list of Environment Variables for my
Windows User Name and will that pose an identification problem when using
SYSDBA?
Should I add the Firebird Root Directory to the Firebird Configuration file?
Last idea, move the Application program into the Firebird Bin Directory.
Which might work?
Thanks For all the pointers, Phew! there is allot to learn!
