Very interesting! Would love to try this sometime soon (if I find some spare time), maybe I’ll try to get this to work over an SSH connection for security reasons.

Nice work.

I don’t remember details. I changed stuff incrementally.

Anyway are sure it is worth doing it? Some webservice approach is probably much better way to deal with data from Firebird into device.

i download .net provider from svn last night and finally got it to compile without errors. it runs on iphone simulator but FbConnection will not open a connection to the firebird server. i’ve got a firebird server running on my mac and tried connecting to a remote server via internet. both servers are versions 2.1 and i’m using .net provider 2.5 from svn.

it doesn’t throw an exception. connection string is correct, and the server is valid.

your original post mentions some “minor tweaks”. could you share those?

thanks.

You’ll not be able to compile it out of the box. I’ve done some changes (removing some parts) in code to make it work.

i’ve purchased latest version of mono touch and cannot get it to compile. have you tried this with their latest versions?

I’ve tried searching and you appear to be the only one out there trying to do what we need to do.

No it doesn’t. The Firebird wire protocol is completely implemented using managed code (C#). That’s BTW why you can run it on MonoTouch (as proved here).

Hi, thank you for this info, but I am wondering … does “.NET provider for Firebird” need fbclient.dll library, or how all this works?
