Connecting to an Interbase Database File via C# - database-connection

All --
I am trying to export data from an Interbase Version 5 database file by using the following connection string:
Provider=LCPI.IBProvider;Location=\"<Path To Database>";User ID=******;Password=*****;ctype=win1251"
I have downloaded and installed the from the IBProvider website. I am getting the following error:
The 'LCPI.IBProvider' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I tried manually registering the _IBProvider_v3_vc10_w64_lite_trial_i.dll file but no luck.
Ok, so here is my question can I connect to this database file similarly to a FoxPro database file without having the database software installed?

Ok, I found the answer, I had to download the latest version of FireBird database engine and then attach the database. Then I downloaded the EMS SQL Manager for InterBase/Firebird GUI because I didn't want to bother with using the ISQL command line application.

Jenkins schedule pdi spoon job failing due to database connection error

I have a jenkin scheduled job that calls Spoon ETL . On some days the job fails due to database connection error with SQL server as well as postgresql . I have tried running it by clearing cache as well as deleting database cache file. The error message is,
Error connecting to database: (using class net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver)
It seems like the driver is out of date. Found a solution here: https://communities.bmc.com/docs/DOC-109113
In summary it says:
CAUSE:
Issue is with JDBC 3.0 driver for Microsoft SQL Server (http://jtds.sourceforge.net/). The platform upgrade replaced the current driver with an older driver.
SOLUTION:
1- Download most recent driver from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/files/jtds/
2- Copy file to PATH\TO\data-integration\lib
3- Delete existing driver.
Note* DO NOT JUST RENAME IT. If you just rename it, it will work in Spoon but not when you launch the job in AI.

Connecting informix through SSIS

I need to connect to Informix database.
I have created a DSN (by using 32 bit informix driver) with the details and the test connection is working fine.
When connecting through SSIS, the DSN is not able to connect, the error thrown is:
sqlhosts file has the database name still error shown it is missing
What is the exact error message?
Which SSIS Version are you using?
Proably the required enviroment variables are not set in the environment of the SSIS process.

OLE DB provider for Teradata 15.10.04?

I'm setting up a brand new system and decided to install TTU 15.10.04 (my old machine had TTU 14). When I run my apps, I get this error:
The 'TDOLEDB' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I used to get this error on earlier versions, but all I had to do was make sure my app was running in 32-bit mode. After checking everything multiple times and not being able to isolate the problem, I searched for the OLE DB installation folder on my new machine, but have not been able to find it. So I checked my old machine and found that it was installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Teradata\Client\14.00\OLE DB Provider for Teradata
I have no such equivalent folder on my new machine. The only thing I have is OLE DB Access Module, but I am sure that's not it. I have concluded that I do not have the OLE DB provider installed at all and cannot seem to find out where to get it. It's as if it has disappeared. Any help would be great
You can download the teradata oledb provider for ttu15 HERE
Hope this helps

How to connect to a legacy Informix database?

I have to connect my app to a customer's Informix 7.2 legacy database.
From what I was able to find out, in theory there should be a database service running on port 50000. The problem is that I cannot find any database service in the Operative System.
So far I'm only able to use dbaccess and perform queries from the command line.
I would like to use a database driver (such as http://code.google.com/p/ibm-db/) so my app can connect and query the database using a cursor, but since I cannot find any database service, apparently I can't...
Am I missing something here? Are there options I'm not considering?
Is it possible to have an Informix database in which the only interface is dbaccess?
See connection strings for Informix
If you use Python you can look at: Python wiki but I would like to extend it a little.
If you work on Windows and have Client SDK then there should be ODBC driver installed on your machine. There is also Linux and other unix versions of such client software. If you install that you can use ODBC to connect to database. On Windows you can use Active State Python 2.6 with win32 extensions which has odbc module included. On other Python implementations you can use win32 extensions or other ODBC module such as mxODBC.
I work also with Jython where I use both JDBC and ODBC drivers. You can see this "in action" in my SO questions like: Problem with Informix JDBC Money format
BTW, if you want to connect to a remote legacy Informix database using Python from a Mac, pypyodbc-informixcsdk could be your only (free) choice. Check this wiki.
On a Windows box, pyodbc + Informix Client SDK + ODBC do the job nicely.

Files needed to deploy delphi 2010 dbxpress application

I'm having trouble deploying my delphi application. It uses dbxpress to access mysql 5.1 database. When i run the application from another computer, an error occurs. I've already included the midaslib.dll in my application and copied the dbxmys.dll and libmysql.dll in the same folder as my application.
Hope someone can help.
Can you make a connection with the ping command? Can you make a connection to the database itself? Just with the command prompt. Not with Delphi.
Maybe a firewall is blocking or the remote user is not authorized.
