Cannot connect to database

<< < (2/3) > >>

Perhaps so, but adding the computer name is one of the first things I tried—the bug might be trickier than it seems. Maybe the issue of not being able to connect a database that's already opened (a different one has to be opened first) and this bug are connected.

PvdImport has been downloaded by a lot of users and occasionally this problem arises. It's hard for me to see a pattern other than "PVD may not be properly connected even if Network=1 and the path looks ok". The problem *may* be more frequent with Vista and Win7 than XP, but that may be just related to Win7 coming out of release.

Maybe it's related to Admin rights?

Anyways, I think it would have been nice with a clear indication in PVD on how it has connected, server or embedded, so we could ask "is PVD connected to the server? Look at the icon in the lower left corner, does it look like an x or a y?"

It does that now in the title bar. Problem is, it lies. ;)

No, but I imagine it would work as does including the computer name. I don't really understand the linked discussion, but it seems to indicate the problem originates with Firebird. Nevertheless, if this is the case, the "connect to database" should require the explicit including of a computer name or IP address, and use this in making the connection. It could default to the name of the local machine, so most users wouldn't notice the difference.
