hi, i have a software which has a firebird datasource. I am developing a C# application which reads data from this database. I searched on how to make an odbc connection with this database and now i have 3 questions
1. do i really need some firebird odbc driver application to make a connection, how do i know if one(firebird odbc driver) is installed on my computer
2. how would i connect to this database.
3. how do u specify the database if its on remote computer.
I m not that much familiar with odbc. I have worked with system.data.sqlclient and am quite new to odbc connections.
Sorry,if i am asking this question in a wrong place. I don't think it was a database general question. Please provide help on how do make a connection to firebird database.
Thanx
