Thanks, that's certainly worth knowing should I suddenly find myself
with the time to write the front end app :). Is the Lazarus driver a
proper client-server interface, that would allow the front end to talk
to a Firebird server on a remote machine? Firebird can be run
"embedded" using a driver, but that would limit kicad to being used by
only one engineer at a location, acting as a barrier to it being used
professionally.
Yes, they are full client-server "drivers". Actually they are an interface to the installed db-drivers. There is no odbc-layer.
I've not checked to see if there are any snags, but the Firebird
community is very active and I'm sure they would not tolerate something
buggy.
Firebird is my favorite database server ;-) .
