Hi,

I am trying to access a firebird 1.5.3 database remotely from python using pyfirebirdsql. (access from Ubuntu precise 64 bit to Firebird running on Windows)

I can connect to the database locally using a username/password with a defined role (using FlameRobin) but the connection string for pyfirebirdsql doesn’t seem to allow a role to be defined so that I can use this same username. Have I missed something?

I have tried to install KinterbaseDB but it needs Firebird client installed and I couldn’t get all the relevant dependencies for Firebird 1.5 to install properly on my Ubuntu system so gave up on that option.

If I only want read access will fdb work or is there some other option I have missed?

Thanks,

Gary
