[Firebird-net-provider] Remote connection using .net provider

[martin <mc...@we...>]

Hi,

      I would like to make a connection to a remote to a firebird database
server. I have been happily using the existing .net provider for local
access or access on the same LAN.

      Not I wish to make a remote connection to a server that exists on the
internet.

     Does anybody have an example of a connection string I can use. I am
assuming that I will have to idenify the server by IP address. Also are
there any additional steps that I need to take in order to ensure that when
a  connection is made to the remote box that houses the firebird server that
the traffic is forawrded on to the acual instance of the firebird server
that is running on the box.

If anybody knows of any information on this subject that I could reference,
then I would appreciate being pointed to the article.

any help is appreciated.

cheers

martin.

You need to give the server name in the DataSource element of the 
connection string and the port number that is being used by the Firebird 
Server.

User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;Database=C:\SampleDatabase.fdb;DataSource=Firebird_Server; 
Port=3050;Dialect=3;Charset=ISO8859_1;Role=; Connection 
lifetime=15;Pooling=true;Packet Size=8192
