Re: [cobalt-developers] Interbase 6 SQL server & Cobalt

Hi,

I have been looking at Interbase on my RAQ4 and have noted the following.

This does not appear to be the case, and there is NOTHING in the RAQ manual
about it.
( ps -ax does not report anything)

This bit works , although I cannot create a database.

Also if I try and connect from WIN2K via TCP/IP  using the Interbase
client( IBCONSOLE), I try the connection diagnostic and get an error (10035)
which the help suggests that the server is not running.

Can anyone help with how to start the Interbase Server ???

Many thanks,

Steve Rogers
