firebird lazarus / 16-Databases ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lawman · 2020-01-24 19:58 Hi, Just checking which gui you use to create firebird databases and relationships for tables? made one in open office with relationships, but flamerobin can't seem to open it. Quote*** IBPP::SQLException *** Context: Database::Connect Message: isc_attach_database failed SQL Message : -902 Unsuccessful execution caused by a system error that precludes successful execution of subsequent statements Engine Code    : 335544721 Engine Message : Unable to complete network request to host "localhost". Failed to establish a connection. I haven't installed firebird, which might be really silly of me.   I assumed flamerobin could open without firebird being present. tried creating one in flame robin but it doesn't let me. Also, when I did create a database in openoffice, I couldn't create a many to many relationship between 2 tables.     Is this a limitation of firebird? Thanks ps.  using linux manjaro ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lawman · 2020-01-24 20:17 tried installing firebird and got following errors??
