Time to try Firebird for Android
In a private email exchange to Alex Peshkov, he allowed be to publish his “cloud” link, containing a test version of Firebird 3 for Android.
Archives with tools for accessing databases in embedded mode are available at https://cloud.mail.ru/public/0b09cf605ed8/FbAndr
Note that Embedded can be used also as a client to access remote Firebird servers.
Embedded version should be _embedded_ into target application. It’s not installed separately. It can be accessed by the well known ISC API, and there is also the new OO API.
Alex need people to try it out and report/comment about problems, etc.
If you expect to see an official Android Firebird build in the future, you must start helping testing and sending feedback.
Is it possible to connect from Firebird 3.0 client to Firebird 2.5 server ?
Yes, you can. I tested with FB 2.5 server running, using isql from FB 2.5 and fbclient.dll from FB 3, and was able to connect.
I mean for Android.
Should be no different… fbclient in android accessing remote FB 2.5.
