About a year ago, I was able to run a win32 application based on .Net 4.5 on my linux machine using an embedded Firebird database.
To make absolutely sure, I removed all firebird stuff on my linux server and only copied the embedded dll's as it works for windows.
When I run using MONO version 3.12.0, I get following error when trying to open a DB connection:
Error: fbembed at (wrapper managed-to-native) FB_1061628003_Class:isc_attach_database (intptr[],int16,byte[],int&,int16,byte[]) at FB_1061628003_Class.IFbClient.isc_attach_database (System.IntPtr[] statusVector, Int16 dbNameLength, System.Byte[] dbName, System.Int32& dbHandle, Int16 parmBufferLength, System.Byte[] parmBuffer) [0x00000] in :0 at FirebirdSql.Data.Client.Native.FesDatabase.Attach (FirebirdSql.Data.Common.DatabaseParameterBuffer dpb, System.String dataSource, Int32 port, System.String database) [0x00000] in :0 at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionInternal.Connect () [0x00000] in :0 at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionInternal:Connect () at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnection.Open () [0x00000] in :0
I read here that that the firebird .Net client was not supported in later releases than 2.6.
Now that's a while back and I wanted to know if anybody had insights / updates on this particular topic?
As an alternative, does anybody know if wine of equivalent would be working?
I just installed Wine and was able to install .Net framework and I was able to connect to my database.
