Hello,

m> I want to use the embeded FB dll but also connect remote servers.

You *can* use fbembed.dll to connect to a remote server. Local
connection strings like

c:\data\mydatabase.fdb

will be processed by the embedded server, whereas remote connection
strings like

<hostname>:c:\data\mydatabase.fdb

will be forwarded to a separate Firebird server on the <hostname>
machine.

m> I know I can specify a client dll globally, but is it possible to
m> load a specific one per connection?

You shouldn't need it anymore. Anyway, FYI I have done some work to
make it possible and sent the changes to Jason some time ago. The work
is unfinished though, and needs advice from the creator of IBO before
it can be put in production. Unfortunately it appears Jason has been
very busy lately and hasn't got around to that yet.

Ciao
