Trying to use the firebird embedded server - Specified server type is not correct

问题

Running on Windows 7 using Visual Studio 2005, I am attempting to use the embedded firebird server. Having followed installation details provided, I get the message:-

Specified server type is not correct.

I am using:-

FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll version 2.5.2.0.

fbembed.dll version 2.5.0.26074

I copied the entire contents of the zip file Firebird-2.5.0.26074-0_Win32_embed.zip to my application directory, as there seem to be a variety of ideas as to what should be there.

I also copied fbembed.dll and renamed it to gds32.dll and fbclient.dll as has been suggested elsewhere.

My connection string is:-

User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;database=C:\Database\EMPLOYEE.FDB;servertype=1; Dialect=3;";

All users have full control on the database file.

I have a firebird server running on the same machine, I ensured the service was stopped to avoid any confusion.

The stack trace at the failure shows:-

at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.ClientFactory.CreateDatabase(FbConnectionString options) at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionInternal.Connect() at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionPool.Create() at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionPool.CheckOut() at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnection.Open()

Appreciate any ideas.

The very latest stuff (8/2015) doesn't seem to like ServerType=1 in the connect string but rather using the stringbuilder:

        FbConnectionStringBuilder cs = new FbConnectionStringBuilder();
        cs.UserID = "SYSDBA";
        cs.Password = "masterkey";
        cs.Database = Form1.DataBaseFullPath;
        cs.Charset = "UTF8";
        cs.Pooling = false;
        cs.Dialect = 3;
        cs.ServerType = FbServerType.Embedded;

        FbConnection Connection = new FbConnection(cs.ToString());

If you look at the result you will see the syntax is "...;server type=embedded". Space between "server" and "type".

Try adding the DataSource in the ConnectionString, e.g.

Data Source=localhost;

[Edit]

Also, have a look at this SO question. It mentions a couple of DLLs that were additionally needed to run Firebird as embedded.

Whatever the problem was, it has been resolved by using the latest version (2.7.5) of the Firebird dot net provider (thanks to Jiri on the firebird mailing lists).
