creating an embedded database? #44

Open yinso opened 9 years ago

yinso commented 9 years ago

Is it possible to create an embedded database via libfbclient, like in sqlite?

mariuz commented 9 years ago

In firebird 3 libfbclient can also open databases like libfbembed does (libfbembed and libfbclient are one)

In firebird 2.5 you need to do some small tweaks and rebuild it

Sorry I wasn't clear.

With sqlite - you can create a database file at the moment you open it.

i.e. var db = sqlite.open("/new/database/path"); // before this line the database file doesn't exist.

Can the same be done with firebird?

create_database api can be implemented similar to this example

http://www.sqlapi.com/HowTo/native_api.html

This is how create_database was implemeted also in python driver

there is no fbembedded.lib in /lib folder? So just replace the linking in binding.gyp will not work out of the box?
