I’ve encountered similar errors where the database you are accessing isn’t compatible with Firebird version you are running.  It appears like the database is a ODS (on disk structure) 10.0, which is Interbase  6/Firebird 1.0 and the installed Firebird version is 12.2, which is a version of Firebird 3.x.  Generally, the database will need backed up (GBak) at version 10.0 (Firebird 1.0) and restored at version 12.x (Firebird 3.0) to function properly.  The sub versions generally don’t matter.  E.g – a database at Firebird 2.1.3 can be backed up/restored at Firebird 2.1.7 without issues.

 

Here are two website explaining more:

thanks for the hint!

I've installed version 3.0 and now I'm getting:

 

unsupported on-disk structure for file C:\DATA\DATABASE.FDB; found 10.0, support 12.2
IProvider::attachDatabase failed when loading mapping cache
No message for error code 336330835 found

 

from  FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.

 

nice improvement… :)

 

what's this error now?

 

HELP!
