[Firebird-odbc-devel] Is it possible to use and ODBC driver without installating it?

[W O]

Hello everybody

I want to make an application portable, so the user just plug the pen-drive
and the application works.

But my application needs an ODBC driver.

It would be possible to use the ODBC driver without the user installing it?

Thanks in advance.

Walter.

Hi,

You can store the Firebird ODBC driver files(OdbcFb.dll, OdbcFb.chm)
together with your application, but the driver registration in system is
required.
Command - regsvr32.exe /s {dir}\OdbcFb.dll

Ok, excellent, I can do the registration without user's intervention.

Thank you.

Walter.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.

It is possible to use driver without registration. In fact we helped implement "Flash Start" edition
for one program.

One way to do this is to load driver directly, without using driver manager.
Another way is to use special "proxy" DLL which transparently replaces ODBC driver manager.

Thank you very much Nikolay.

I believe that I had achieved that, later I'll try with another computer,
one that never had Firebird neither ODBC installed.

If I get good results then I'll share my findings.

Walter.
