Firebird + Delphi XE2

Greetings all

Once again i am in need of assistance from this forum. :-)

I have an application written in Delphi XE2 which is just a basic database maintenance app.

All it does is backs up and restores the database.

To do this i use the standard IBBackup and IBRestore that come with Delphi.

This has all worked great up until i tried to move this app up to Delphi XE2, now when ever I try and connect (IIBackup.ServiceStart i get an exception saying cannot attach to services manager.

I have looked on Embarcaderos site and they basically say I shouldnt be using those components ofr Firebird databases, however I know them and I am comfortable working with them, is there any sort of a work around that anyone knows of?

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Firebird and Interbase continue to diverge, eventually you will fall off the cliff with this approach.
I suggest you take Embarcaderos advice and look for a Firebird compatible solution.

I know IBObjects are committed to Firebird compatibility.
I have no experience with other component sets.

You can try also the dbexpress firebird driver

and ask for issues on the forum

Also you can check the zeosdb open source components

Uib should also work

Hi all

Thanks for the response's.

We have unfortunalty had to purchase a component pack.

I just cringe at having to convert some of our other Firebird applications haha :-)

Anyway, thanks again!
