TRying to run schemaSpy for Firebird DB

[mak053]

Received the below message when executing: java -jar C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\schemaSpy_5.0.0.jar -t firebird -db C:\SiteWatch\DB\Test.fdb -u Reports -p reports -o C:\Program Files\Firebird -port 3050 -host localhost -dp C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\Jaybird-3.0.9-JDK_1.8.zip\jaybird-full-3.0.9.jar

Use the -dp option to specify the location of the database drivers for your database (usually in a .jar or .zip/.Z).

Expected Behavior

expecting to run successful and create ER and relationship docs

Current Behavior

see above

Possible Solution

Believe it is an issue accessing jdbc driver but not sure how to resolve.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

in cmd prompt run - C:\Users\mkelly>java -jar C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\schemaSpy_5.0.0.jar -t firebird -db C:\SiteWatch\DB\Test.fdb -u Reports -p reports -o C:\Program Files\Firebird -port 3050 -host localhost -dp C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\Jaybird-3.0.9-JDK_1.8.zip\jaybird-full-3.0.9.jar

Context

Need to understand tables and relationships in order to build query and reporting solution.

Your Environment

Windows 10 Firebird DB 2_5 JDBC jaybird 4.0.1 jre 1.8.0_261

Sorry, we have no support for 5.0.0. Could you try with 6.1.0 or 6.1.1-SNAPSHOT.

Reason being that the code has changed to much an i believe it was changed before the initial commit of this repository.

[npetzall]

But I see two issues right of the bat.

java -jar C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\schemaSpy_5.0.0.jar -t firebird -db C:\SiteWatch\DB\Test.fdb -u Reports -p reports -o "C:\Program Files\Firebird" -port 3050 -host localhost -dp C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\Jaybird-3.0.9-JDK_1.8.zip\jaybird-full-3.0.9.jar

The output path contains space so needs quotes and graphviz isn't in path env should be possible to specify with `-gv "[path to graphviz folder]"

Might get an error regarding user and then you could use -sso if that is available in 5.0.0

First, thanks for the help.

downloaded 6.1.0 and retried with similar results - see below.

I did change the output path to remove spaces as you suggested.

Also, I need to install graphviz. I'm not a developer so this may take me a little while. I will respond once I've installed and tried again.

C:\Users\mkelly>java -jar C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\schemaspy-6.1.0.jar -t firebird -db C:\SiteWatch\DB\Test.fdb -u Reports -p reports -o C:\aaa -port 3050 -host localhost -dp C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\Jaybird-3.0.9-JDK_1.8.zip\jaybird-full-3.0.9.jar

There were missing paths in driverPath: C:\Users\mkelly\Downloads\Jaybird-3.0.9-JDK_1.8.zip\jaybird-full-3.0.9.jar

It says that the file doesnt exist. It doesn't load jars from inside zips so you'll need to extract it. I'm jus assuming that you get that kind of path in explorer when double clicking a zip file.

[npetzall]

Actually with 6.1 and newer you can skip graphviz and just use -vizjs when using Java older than 15.

There's a bug in 6.1 that's fixed in 6.1.1-SNAPSHOT related to links between different schemas.
