Firebird 2.1 on Windows

[sashanv]

We are using Firebird 2.1. Tell me how to read data from it on Go? Through your driver, it turns out to connect to the database and that's it, all requests come back with basically empty answers, although there is data in the database.

I don't have an environment where Firebird 2.1 works, so I can't try it. Maybe Firebird 2.1 does not work.

If the database with a character set other than utf-8, please set the charset parameter. https://github.com/nakagami/firebirdsql#optional

I got same result,here is my code: package main

import ( "database/sql" "fmt"

_ "github.com/nakagami/firebirdsql"

)

func main() { var n int conn, er := sql.Open("firebirdsql", "SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost:f:\monkey.fdb?charset=utf8") if er != nil { fmt.Println("open failed:", er) return } defer conn.Close() conn.QueryRow("SELECT Count(*) FROM rdb$relations").Scan(&n) fmt.Println("Relations count=", n)

}

go run simple.go Relations count= 0

firebirddb 2.5.9,and isql tool: SQL> create database "f:\monkey.fdb" page_size 8192 user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterkey'; Server version: WI-V2.5.9.27139 Firebird 2.5 WI-V2.5.9.27139 Firebird 2.5/XNet (LENOVO)/P12 WI-V2.5.9.27139 Firebird 2.5/XNet (LENOVO)/P12 SQL> SELECT RDB$RELATION_ID FROM RDB$DATABASE;

RDB$RELATION_ID

        128

could you take a look what's wrong, and could you provide a sample for windows?

[nakagami]

thanks,

\ is escape char, and / can also be used as a path separator in windows.

Probably, the connection string should be as follows

SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost:f:\\monkey.fdb?charset=utf8

or

SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost:f:/monkey.fdb?charset=utf8

[hjlp20150803]

SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost:f:/monkey.fdb?charset=utf8

conn, er := sql.Open("firebirdsql", "SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost:f:/monkey.fdb?charset=utf8"),

this still not work, acturally "SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost:f:\monkey.fdb?charset=utf8" is what I used,but it show is "SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost:f:\monkey.fdb?charset=utf8", only one "\", I don't know why.

thanks for your reply, if you could install firebirdsql2.59, or higher version on your windows platform, and test it, then maybe better, support a platform is big deal.

I used double "\\",but it always shows single "\"

[nakagami]

Oh, sorry.

Try to follow the pattern of connection strings found at https://github.com/nakagami/firebirdsql/blob/master/utils_test.go#L41-L49

for example

SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost/f:\\monkey.fdb?charset=utf8

or

SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost/f:/monkey.fdb?charset=utf8

[hjlp20150803]

SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost/f:\monkey.fdb?charset=utf8

thanks a lot,it works

[hjlp20150803]

this works: "SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost/f:\monkey.fdb?charset=utf8" this not works: SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost/f:/monkey.fdb?charset=utf8

[nakagami]

thanks I didn't know how it works in windows, so I learned a lot.

one more thing, I test firebird 3.0, it does not work:

SQL> create database "f:\rain.fdb" page_size 8192 user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterkey'; Server version: WI-V3.0.11.33703 Firebird 3.0 SQL> SELECT RDB$RELATION_ID FROM RDB$DATABASE;

RDB$RELATION_ID

        128

===================================== package main

import ( "database/sql" "fmt"

_ "github.com/nakagami/firebirdsql"

)

func main() { var n int conn, er := sql.Open("firebirdsql", "SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost/:f:\rain.fdb") if er != nil { fmt.Println("open failed:", er) return } defer conn.Close()

conn.QueryRow("SELECT RDB$RELATION_ID FROM RDB$DATABASE").Scan(&n)

fmt.Println("Relations count=", n)

}

./simple Relations count= 0

[hjlp20150803]

"SYSDBA:masterkey@localhost/:f:\rain.fdb","\" is double,not single,so this not wrong

[hjlp20150803]

thanks I didn't know how it works in windows, so I learned a lot.

I restart the system, and it works for firebird3.0: /firebirdsql/simple$ ./simple.exe Relations count= 128
