Creating a Firebird DB on a network drive that has a password

Question

I installed Firebird on a Network drive but cant create a new DB. The network drive has a password and I'm not sure if it makes a difference. I get a sqlstate = 08006 error. Any tips for setting up a Firebird database on a Network drive would be helpful. The line I'm using to create the database is:

`CREATE DATABASE 'testDB.gdb' USER 'sysdba' PASSWORD 'masterkey';`

Answer 1

Firebird specifically does not allow creating a database on a network drive, the database has no need to be on one as access is achieved via the Firebird process on the hosting computer not directly to the database file
