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 ???????
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 ....
