firebird DBMS

Hey their,

i tried to install interbase/firebird sql dbms, but couldn't find it either in pacman, nor in aur. Is ist possible there is no package for this, or does it have another package-name??

Thanks for your help..

Re: firebird DBMS

I believe the package you're looking for is libfbclient, it's in community.

Re: firebird DBMS

The php in extra does not have interbase support compiled in.  You may need to build your own php with the "--with-interbase=/path" flag set.

Re: firebird DBMS

libfbclient contains only the client engine.  You need to have the server running to be able to connect locally.
There used to be firebird and firebird-ss packages in aur, both 1.5.x version and maintained also by dsa. Maybe we could ask him regarding a 2.1.x package.

Re: firebird DBMS

But, why firebird 1.5.3 has been removed from community ??????? hmm hmm hmm hmm
And now libfbclient conflicts with previous version. Disaster.

firebird 1.5.3 and firebird 2.x are not the same things ! I have apps that requires 1.5.x only ....
