Hi
So it’s the ‘classic’ version that uses xinetd, so is xinetd running?

s1:/var/lib/firebird # isql-fb
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL> CONNECT /var/lib/firebird/data/employee.fdb ;
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902

finally I got it working. I had to use the rpm package install from
official firebird website (‘Firebird: Firebird 2.5’
(http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/server-packages/))

the firebird in SLES 11 SP1 packages are not good.

Hi
I have fired off an email to the package maintainer to look at this
thread.

You forgot to quote the string “teste”

SQL> create database “teste”;
SQL> drop database;

It looks as if something went seriously wrong during the install.

The need to restart xinetd is a gotcha, although it is documented. It
is probably more intuitive to install firebird-ss to start with, because
it is likely to be more obvious that running rcfirebird start is going
to be needed. I sometimes catch myself out by forgetting to restart
xinetd.

I don’t know if installing the suse Firebird packages has been tested
on SLES 11 but it certainly works on 11.1 and 11.3

Hopefully I’ll get some time soon to check this in more detail.
