Subject Hostname/Database with Firebird 2.1 embedded
Author danyschaer
Hi All;

Using the embedded Firebird, I am testing how to open one database on
different paths.

Example 1:

The database is in C:\XX\XX.FDB, where C is my local drive. So I set:

HOSTNAME=
DATABASE=C:\XX\XX.FDB


Example 2:

The database is in F:\XX\XX.FDB, where F is mapped to LINUXHOST. So I
set:

HOSTNAME=LINUXHOST
DATABASE=/XX/XX.FDB

or

HOSTNAME=
DATABASE=LINUXHOST:/XX/XX.FDB

or

HOSTNAME=
DATABASE=F:\XX\XX.FDB

Example 1 works fine; but I can't open the database when it is on my
network drive. The application enters in an infinite loop without any
error message. I have to finish it from outside.

Is it possible to open the file on a network drive, using the
embedded approach?. How?

Thank you in advanced.

Daniel
