| Upscene Alias Resolvertm
Both the InterBase and Firebird database require you to know the exact path of the databasefile on the server in your client application. If you, for some reason, happen to move the file or rename the file, you have to update all your client applications in one way or another... This, of course, is not the way to go...
We're not saying that this is the best solution - but hey, it's one solution -- and it's free!!
Features
- Uses a TCP/IP socket connection
- Remote configuration via Telnet
- Runs at Windows, Linux and Solaris (Java JDK 1.3)
- Centralized, server side repository of database paths
- Delphi client available as easy-to-use Delphi component (Delphi 5, 6 and 7)
- Java client available: as easy-to-use as any Java class
Example:
At the client you have:
alias=employee
resolve the alias via the Upscene Alias Resolver
server=DB_SERVER01
path=f:\interbasedata\employee.gdb
Now, you can connect to your database like you're used too... it's that easy!
