How to open a firebird .db table file using c#.Net

Question

I have a Firebird .fdb file and can open it fine. But some tables are empty, and I can open the .db files of these tables using 3rd part programs. This was not developed by me.

Now I need to open a .db from a table from firebird using c#.net Some knows how to do that? I dont want to open the database, connect to it, etc, just open the .db file.

Answer 1

If you can open those .db files using Borland Database Desktop, then they are Paradox tables and not Firebird ones.

So, in order to access that .db files from your C# app, you could use:

• MS ODBC Paradox Driver
• MS Jet OLEDB

Keep in mind that you may have to install/configure BDE (Borland Database Engine), so the MS drivers would provide full support on Paradox tables.
