I’m migrating an Clarion 5.5 application to version 6.3 using Firebird database 2.5.x. I ask friends with experience if is it necessary to inform any command SEND(table, “/XXXXXX = XX”) after the connection string.
By the way, in old Clarion 5.5 app I was using Send(Table,’/BUSYHANDLING=2’) and now, compiling the same application, with same driver and same database I got some access errors. So, I removed the command SEND() and is apparently working. I’m afraid to put the application into production on the client and have a bad surprise.
I had use Firebird (From 1.5 to 2.5) with Clarion 6.3 over ten years.
-It is stable and fast.
-It is easy to make backup of database
-Reliable.
But the problem is it request to use ODBC to connect Firebird Dabase from Clarion, so the connection speed is slow compare with MSSQL.
Also no ODBC driver for MacOS

I converted from firebird 2.5 to 3.0 embedded. Very fast indeeed
so in the fdb database directory i have
FBclient.dll
ffirebird.msg
ib_util.dll
icudt52.dll
icuin52.dll
icuuc52.dll
And a subdir intl with
fbintl.conf
fbintl.dll
And a subdir plugins
engine12.dll
This all works on 32 bit win10 (with the 32 bits odbc)
but seems to miss a file on 64 bit win 10 (with the 32 bits odbc)
Do you have any idea?
I will have a look next week when i can test on a 64 bit machine… I combine firebird with FM3 (filemanager) from capesoft. On the 32 bit machine i can only start my app with firebird once so i am a bit lost.
