Hello Team IBO
Firebird has install programs for Windows, Linux, MacOS, AIX, HP-US,
FreeBSD, Darwin.
I have used my IBO Windows client application with the FB engine on Windows
and Linux boxes.
For a Windows DB server IBO requires a connection string like
"machinename:DriveLetter:\folder1\folder2\file.ext" and for a Linux DB
server IBO requires a connection string like
"machinename:/folder1/folder2/file.ext".
With no test access to boxes with the other OSes listed above I am wondering
if I can tell a prospective user that can use my app with a, for example,
AIX DB server?
Do all the other OSes above support Windows clients as a Linux+Samba file
sever box does?
Will IBO connect to them and if so what is the form of IBO's connection
string?
Thanks
