Pvd locks the Firebird database...
raldo:
I'm trying to open the database from within PVD using the "Connect to server" dialog.
I've tried many strings, the last one:
dionysus:C:\Documents and Settings\Harald\My Documents\Personal Video Database\movies.pvd
Where dionysus is my computer's name. I've also tried "\\dionysus..."
When I use just the filename, a connect from another client (My plugin or maestro) fails. It looks as if embedded client is used by PVD because fbembed.dll cannot be deleted.
Are you using just the filename?

Connect with [computer name:|ip address:]path (i.e., computer name or ip address are optional). All three ways work for me. So I don't understand why your last attempt would not work, unless...
You haven't acknowledged the possibility I've suggested several times. If PVD is connecting to your database via Firebird embedded—because that's how it was previously loaded—you have to "disconnect" by switching to another database (or by creating a new one). Then Connect to server, entering the path to your original database.

Ok, I forgot to tell you that I've tried that...

Did you install the Firebird Server in first place?

You may have a point. I'm able to delete that with PVD running (connected to server).
I run Firebird as a service now, but until I figured out how to use it, I ran it as an application. Doing so provided a notification tool that would allow me to see if a connection I attempted was successful. If you're not already doing that, it might help you trouble-shoot.
What version of Firebird are you using? I don't know why there would be any problem using 2.1.2, but I'm using 2.0.5—because the embedded version used by PVD is 2.0.3.
I know nothing about Maestro, but this caught my eye:

Is it possible you have Maestro configured to connect to the database via Firebird embedded, instead of the server?
