Hi

|>>Where does gstat (gbak, gfix) look for the aliases.conf file?
|
|A client application doesn't need to know where aliases.conf is. It is a component of the server, not of a client.
|The purpose of database aliasing is to make the location of the database transparent to client applications.

Sorry for not being clear. I'm talking about an embedded setup. I want to call the tools gbak/gstat/gfix from my embedded client, eg. to perform backup.

It works fine when the aliases.conf file is situated in the same directory as my application and the tools in a subdirectory from here.

The reason I ask is that I realized, that on my development machine another aliases.conf file was consulted than I thought, namely that in the Firebird server installation directory, and not the one in the directory where my embedded client was running from.

Thanks
Jacob
