Well, I'm a newbie to Firebird, transfering over from BDE, using BDS
2006 under XP Pro.
I've downloaded Firebird 2.0.3 from
http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=files and unpacked the zip.
All the documentation on Firebird says that the best way to install
Firebird is to run the installer - and that the installer will ask
you whether you want to install the Classic or the Super Server.
I may be blind, but I cannot find the installer!
I downloaded the zip and unzipped it. Something is running, but I
have not been able to create a database. I've followed carefully the
example in the manual. Moreover, the Examples that the documentation
says should be there are not and so I don't know if I can connect to
an existing database. If I will need to uninstall it (in order to
reinstall it), I'm not sure how I can do that either!
Anyone with any ideas?
Thanks,
John
