Support for WireCompression with ODBC
bogdan-soare opened this issue · 2 comments
Is there any way to implement WireCompression using the Firebird ODBC driver?
At the server I have set WireCompression=true in firebird.conf and I have restarted the service.
At the client I have set WireCompression=true in firebird.conf which is located in the same folder as fbclient.dll and zlib1.dll.
When connecting to the remote database through the ODBC driver, from Visual Fox Pro, I noticed that WireCompression is not used.
The connection string refers to the location of the fbclient.dll mentioned earlier.
The ODBC driver's version is 2.0.5.156.
That would suggest that the ODBC driver is using a different fbclient.dll than the one that has the firebird.conf and zlib1.dll, or that the fbclient.dll and/or zlib1.dll is 64-bit instead of 32-bit (iirc FoxPro is 32-bit only).
You are right! I was using the wrong zlib1.dll from the 64 bit install of the Firebird Server rather than the one from the 32 bit install. Now it works. Thanks a lot!
