What Dimitry said, or you can try this:





function _GetAliasDBFName(alias): string;

var

sl: TStringList;

begin

result := '';

sl := TStringList.Create;

try

sl.LoadFromFile('C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0\databases.conf');

result := sl.Values[alias];

finally

sl.Free;

end;

end;



Simply call _ GetAliasDBFName and pass your alias name as a param. Problem might arise if FB team chooses to change name of database.conf file, or re-allocate it.

Subject: [firebird-support] 3.x - Check if DB exist using alias





I'm using Delphi.

Which is the best way to check if a database exist if my connection is alias based?



I have to try to connect and manage response?

Is there another way?
