Subject Database files on a remote mapped drive development
Author Clarke, Thomas (UK)
Hi all,
I'm new to Firebird so please forgive me if I appear naive in any way.
I have been charged by my company to modify if necessary Firebird 2 so
that we ma be able to access database files on the network.
The safety issues listed wherever the issue is discussed (ie. the
database gettting corrupted under such circumstances) would not seem to
apply as there will be no writing to the database. It's purely read
only.
I tried to active RemoteFileOpenAbility in Firebird.conf but that did
not help.
I am therefore forced to consider modifying the source of the
application.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone out there could give me a few
pointers to help me on my way.

BTW: I'm working on a Windows XP box with VS.NET and 2005 installed.
One of the main obstacles I've found is that there seems to be no easy
way to step through the code in debug mode in Visual Studio.
Do you know a way to set this up?
