<pre>Description:
One of the most requested features, in relation to Base databases, is the
ability to maintain a multi-user database.
Since firebird is going to be the default embedded database manager, the
logical evolution to solve the problem and convert a single-user database into
a multi-user database is to export the embedded database to a firebird server.
Extracting the data file from the .odb file is not a big problem. However the
connection to the firebird server is not easy from Base.
Currently you can create an embedded firebird data file, you can also create
and connect to a firebird file external to the .odb file (this connection does
not support multiple users simultaneously), but there is no built-in way to
connect to a firebird server, as there is, for example, for mysql or postgres.
Incorporating a way to connect to a firebird server would be a great
improvement that would help increase the number of Base users by easing the
transition from an embedded database to a multi-user database.
Actual Results:
It is not possible to connect to a firebird server without an externarl driver
Expected Results:
Connection to a firebird server with incorporated driver
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
