The legacy connection method sends passwords over the wire unencrypted, does not support wire protocol encryption, and also limits Chapter 3. Installing Firebird 8 (truncates!) the usable length of reachable from the client at all. At this point, it is assumed that you will use the TCP/IP network protocol for your Firebird client/server connections. Chapter 3. Installing Firebird 9 3.4.1. Pinging know about Firebird SQL. In as much as remote connections are involved, we will use the TCP/IP protocol. 6.1. Connection strings If you want to connect to a database or create one you have to supply

The following values can be specified as the protocol: INET TCP/IP (first (first tries to connect using the IPv6 protocol, if it fails, then IPv4) INET4 TCP/IP v4 INET6 TCP/IP v6 WNET NetBEUI or Named Pipes Protocol XNET local protocol (does not include a host, port and

With regard to the local protocol, the new client library use the local protocol, please ensure your server and client binaries have exactly the same version numbers. Client Impersonation No Longer Works WNET (a.k.a. NetBEUI, Named Pipes) protocol no longer performs

the client at all. At this point, it is assumed that you will use the recommended TCP/IP network protocol for your Firebird client/server connections. Notes • If you have installed a Classic Server on you can skip the “Pinging the server” section below. • For information about using the NetBEUI protocol in an all-Windows environment, refer to the Network Configuration chapter in the Using Firebird unable to open database”: • You may be running Firebird on Windows and for some reason the local protocol isn't working. One rather common cause for this is running Windows with Terminal Services (Remote

Data Definition (DDL) Statements remote server specification. The remote server specification depends on the protocol being used. If you use the TCP/IP protocol to create a database, the primary file specification should look like this: this: host[/{port|service}]:{filepath | db_alias} If you use the Named Pipes protocol to create a database on a Windows server, the primary file specification should look like this: \\host\{filepath |

remote server specification. The remote server specification depends on the protocol being used. If you use the TCP/IP protocol to create a database, the primary file specification should look like this: this: _servername_[/{_port_|_service_}]:{_filepath_ | _db_alias_} If you use the Named Pipes protocol to create a database on a Windows server, the primary file specification should look like this: \ specified in the alias “test” that has been defined previously in the file aliases.conf. The TCP/IP protocol is used. The owner of the database will be the user wizard. The database will be in Dialect 3 and
