Firebird Connect To Remote Database
OSX. I used DBExpress driver DevArt. I read this post in order to convert Firebird from Server to Embedded. But when my application starts, it raises an exception: Cannot attach to password database The database is copied from my Windows installation and not created on OS X. I don't think this the problem, but it lies in the conversion from Server to Embedded because the documentation is for the old Firebird version. Have you firebird connect database got any ideas to solve my problem? delphi delphi-xe2 firebird firebird2.5 share|improve this question edited Jun 23 '12 at 22:33 Evan Mulawski 38.2k979124 asked Jun 23 '12 at 15:37 savoweb 263 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote First backup db on win os and restore it on osx. Different physical storage format. Also, even on embeded version, on mac osx, Firebird use security2.fdb (with write permissions) in case you specify username / password. Without user / pass it should work without security2 database. share|improve this answer edited Jun 25 '12 at 7:01 answered Jun 23 '12 at 16:36 Marcodor 712410 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote Cannot attach to password database means that firebird can not find the users database. It's a file named security.fdb or security2.fdb on Firebird 2.0 and above. This file should be in firebird folder as stated in the IBPhoenix's article you linked. share|improve this answer answered Jun 23 '12 at 23:27 Christopher Ramírez 1,397711 The embedded database does not use a password database. –Mark Rotteveel Jun 24 '12 at 7:25 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote use this STEP 1 (make a copy of security.fdb): /opt/firebird/bin/gbak -user SYSDBA -password masterkey /opt/firebird/security.fdb /opt/firebird/security.fbk if you get following error you have to chown security.fdb t
several things you should be aware of - and take care of - before you start using your freshly installed Firebird server. This part of the manual firebird create database introduces you to some useful tools and shows you how to
Firebird Database Manager
protect your server and databases. User management: gsec Firebird comes with a command-line user management tool called gsec.

Although its functions can also be performed by a number of third-party GUI utilities, you should at least have a basic knowledge of gsec, since this is the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11170766/delphi-xe2-and-firebird-embedded-2-5-on-osx official tool and it's present in every Firebird server installation. In the next sections you will use gsec to execute two tasks: changing the SYSDBA password and adding a Firebird user. First though, some points of attention: Permission to run gsec With some Firebird installations, you can only run gsec if you are logged into the operating http://firebirdsql.org/manual/qsg2-config.html system as Superuser (root on Linux) or as the user the Firebird server process runs under. On Windows server platforms, you typically need to be in the Power User group or higher to run gsec successfully. Trouble running gsec If you have enough privileges but invoking gsec results in a message like "cannot attach to password database - unable to open database": You may be running Firebird on Windows and for some reason the local protocol isn't working. One rather common cause for this is running Windows with Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services) enabled and connecting to the server from a different session. To enable the local protocol, open firebird.conf, uncomment the IpcName parameter and set it to Global\FIREBIRD. Then restart the server. Note In Firebird 2.0.1 and up, Firebird automatically prepends Global\ to the IPCname if the connection fails because of insufficient permissions, so this should not happen anymore. If the above doesn't apply to you, you can at least circumvent the problem by "tricking" gsec into using TCP/
backup and restore of a complete database. GBAK is able to perform a backup while the database is running. There is no need to shut down the database during a GBAK backup. GBAK will create a consistent snapshot of the database at http://www.destructor.de/firebird/gbak.htm the time it starts running. You will, however, notice a perfomance degradation during the backup, so it is a good idea to backup at night. As GBAK visits all pages of the database, it will also perform a garbage https://sourceforge.net/p/firebird/mailman/firebird-devel/?viewmonth=201201&page=3 collection on the database. You can find the official Firebird GBAK documentation here. How Backup works GBAK will create a consistent snapshot (or dump) of a database. This snapshot/dump will contain the contents of the database of the point firebird connect in time when the backup is started. For that, it will create an (one) isolated transaction that is used to read the entire database and write it to the snapshot/dump file (which ususally has the .fbk filename extension). During the backup, the database can be used regularly. All transactions that run after the backup has started, will be separated from the backup. Depending on the size of the database, the duration of the backup and the number and duration gbak error cannot of parallel transactions, this can more or less reduce the performace of the database while the backup is running (remember that Firebird has to handle all the data so that new data is isolated from the currently running backup). But it will work and after the backup is finished (the transaction is committed), the database will come back to its usual performance. General Syntax gbak
