This driver enables metabase to connect to FirebirdSQL databases.
plugins
directory if it doesn't already exist. By default that directory is next to the metabase.jar file, but you can specify a different directory by setting the environment varianble MB_PLUGINS_DIR
. firebird.metabase-driver.jar
in the plugins directory. On startup, metabase will load the plugin and the driver should be available.The latest releases are built with version 4.x of Jaybird (the Firebird JDBC driver), which no longer supports Legacy_Auth.
:warning: First of all: Legacy_Auth is disabled for a reason. You should only use the following workarounds if you have no way of using a more secure authentication method. :warning:
If you really need to access your database using Legacy_Auth (#14) you can add it to the authentication plugins. For example:
jdbc:firebirdsql://localhost/employee?authPlugins=Legacy_Auth
If that does not work for you, you can use the release artifact firebird.metabase-driver_jaybird-3.jar
which is built with Jaybird 3.x.
For a detailed description, take a look at the official documentation.
