I am trying to use the demo that I find in directory C:\lazarus\fpc\3.2.2\source\packages\fcl-web\examples\restbridge
Following the instructions in file readme.txt, 1. I created a firebird database (test.fdb) 2. I run expenses-fb.sql to create the db structure 3. I run expenses-data.sql to insert some data in the tables Now I read: << You must edit the program to provide the correct database credentials: look for the ExposeDatabase() call, and edit the username/password. You must also change the name and location of the database >> so I changed the original line FDisp.ExposeDatabase(TPQConnectionDef.TypeName,'localhost','expensetracker','You','YourSecret',Nil,[foFilter,foInInsert,foInUpdate,foOrderByDesc]); into FDisp.ExposeDatabase(TPQConnectionDef.TypeName,'localhost','c:\....\test.fdb','sysadm','masterkey',Nil,[foFilter,foInInsert,foInUpdate,foOrderByDesc]); (where the database path is of course C:\lazarus\fpc\3.2.2\source\packages\fcl-web\examples\restbridge\test.fdb ) However when I compile and run the demo, I get the following error message: "Can not load PostgreSQL client library "libpq.dll". Check your installation" I noticed that a library of name libpq.dll is inside the demo directory. This library was 32 bits, but I compile the demo at 64bits. I downloaded the 64bit library but still no joy (same error). A solution is suggested here https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=43476.0 with several DLLs copied into the working directory but... who wants Postgres? I only work with Firebird. How do I change the code so that only Firebird databases are handled (and no Postgres DLL is needed)? Also: how does the bridge know about the database type one wants to use? I could find no explanation re this question in pages https://wiki.freepascal.org/SQLDBRestBridge Any help? Thank you Peppe -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
