Can anyone point me to some resources or documentation that is Mac specific for 2.1.2.
Unfortunately I'm very new to the Mac (cant say I think much of it when you start to do anything remotely advanced) and I'm investigating porting my windows application over. Unfortunately I am stuck on step 1 - getting FB to work on the mac.
I have installed the classic server and copied over my windows fdb file but all attempts to connect to it with isql have failed.
I have tried to connect to the "employee.fdb" also but that too fails.
The error I receive connecting to the sample database is:
isql localhost:/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Resources/examples/empbuild/employee.fdb
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902
Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to setup a Firebird login.
If I attempt to connect to my database (from a windows system) I get:
isql ./Documents/ShowFiles/DEFAULTSHOW.FDB -user SYSDBA -password masterkey
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902
cannot attach to password database
Further to this problem: I cant see any sign of the FB server running in the process list. Dusted off my Unix knowledge and found my way to the "top" command. Does the install not set this up? Does it need to be running or do local connections work without it.
All help much appreciated.
