There isn't any firebird server support yet -- however it shouldn't
be hugely<br>
complicated to add -- what's needing doing is allowing setting and<br>
passing the required parameters (url/username/password/etc.) to
firebird<br>
-- the passing of the parameters is actually already in place, we
just need<br>
to add an easy way for the user to pass them in / parse them.<br>
<br>
I.e. I would suggest:<br>
<br>
1. Adding a "Firebird Server" driver entry to allow entry of
username/password<br>
in addition to url:<br>
connectivity/registry/firebird/org/openoffice/Office/DataAccess/Drivers.xcu<br>
This would be pretty similar to any of the other remote server
driver entries in the other connectivity/registry/*/..../Drivers.xcu
files.<br>
(I suspect it's easiest to have separate driver entries, rather than
try to have one entry dealing with both local files and servers,
although we can probably share the same sdbc:firebird: prefix).<br>
<br>
2. Add some supporting code to:<br>
connectivity/source/drivers/firebird/Connection.cxx<br>
I.e. we need to parse the username/password/url from the new driver
configuration added above (the code to pass username/passwords/urls
to firebird itself is already in place, so we just need to set the
parameters appropriately based on user input).<br>
<br>
3. Possibly adapt<br>
dbaccess/source/ui/dlg/ConnectionHelper.cxx<br>
To only apply the ".fdb" filter when we're configuring "Firebird
File" and not for "Firebird Server".<br>
(I suspect this wouldn't be necessary if we use a separate prefix
though).<br>
<br>
This shouldn't be hugely complicated to do, the main issue is in
setting up and/or getting access to a firebird server to test that
it actually works, which is why is the main reason I haven't tried
to do this yet -- all contributions in this area would be greatly
appreciated :).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
