Symmetric UDF for Interbase
This folder contains a user defined function (UDF) library that must be installed in the Interbase 9.0
database for SymmetricDS to work properly. It includes the sym_escape() and sym_hex() functions used
by the database triggers to escape strings and BLOBs.
How to Install
The sym_udf library is copied to the UDF folder under the Firebird installation directory.
For Linux users:
Copy sym_udf.so to /opt/interbase/UDF
For Windows users:
Copy sym_udf.dll to C:\CodeGear\InterBase\UDF
When SymmetricDS starts up for the first time, it will enable the functions (using the
"create external function" command) and test that they are working.
How to Build
If you want to the build the library yourself, the following files are included:
Source files:
- sym_udf.c - The C program implementing the user defined functions
- sym_udf.h - The header file with function declarations
For Unix users:
- build.sh - A shell program for Unix that compiles and links the sym_udf library
For Windows users:
- sym_udf.vcproj - A project file for Microsoft Visual Studio
- sym_udf.sln - A solution file for Microsoft Visual Studio
- sym_udf.def - A DLL definition file for Microsoft Visual Studio
