ODBC Connection Details

When connecting Veculim  to a Firebird database, you might want to test the database connection details, by using the ODBC Data Source Administrator.

This can be run from the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder on a 64 Bit computer or the C:\Windows\System32 folder on a 32 Bit computer.
 

 

Testing the Firebird Connection

Once the ODBC Data Source Administrator is running, click on the Add button.

Select the Firebird/InterBase(r) driver option and click Finish.
The Firebird ODBC Setup window will now be displayed.

Fill in a Data Source Name. This could be used to identify the Firebird ODBC connection setup.
Enter the Database path using one of the following, depending on your current setup:

 

  Please Note: Substitute host name & IP address with your own.
 
Enter the Database Account as SYSDBA and the  Password: masterkey as masterkey.
 
Now, you can click on the*Test Connection button.
 

Troubleshooting Notes:

Keep in mind your connection will fail out if:

• The required ODBC drivers are not installed. If not installed, the install can be found in the Veculim Program folder.
• Ensure that the Firebird Service is running. This can be checked in your Control Panel under Firebird Server Manager.
• Ensure that the client dll's have been installed in the C:\Windows\Sysm32 or SysWOW64, depending on whether you are using a 32bit or 64bit. Also ensure that they are not perhaps an outdated version. If not sure, remove the client dll's and re-install the client drivers.
