Created attachment 135681 [details] engine12 failed to start Well, I know, that firebird is at actual weak, uncomplet and not for wor work, however, the server-engine needs to start allways, not unreproducable casewise. At actual I hace a firebird-odb, which can not be used, because the firebird/Engine12-plugin does not start (btw: whre is the plugin-manager of the old days?) At actual, the file is treaten as broken and "repair" will result in LO-crash. pls see attached file martin
btw Although not clearly explained somewhere (in the Wiki?), the concept of fbclient - firebird-sdbcio - firebird/Engine12 - seems to be understandable - when using this inside of LO only. However, regarding the weakness of FB within LO at actual, I intend to use(and manipulate) the same .fbk from within LO and with other tools from the outside. But there seems to be no concept within LO how this can be done, how to use LO as a real frontend. pls put more infos on the wiki. thanks. m.
@mhonline : please describe clearly the steps you are effecting in order to reproduce what you consider to be buggy behaviour - I currently don't understand what you are trying to achieve, nor why you think that this is a problem with LibreOffice. Setting NEEDINFO until detailed steps enabling reproduction of the issue are provided.
Do not know what further infos I can give - as you can see, the formerly with LO and FB-embedded made .odb can not be opend and crashed LO. a new test (see attached screenshots) crashed LO immidiatly. m

@mhonline : - the formerly "made-with-LO-embedded-firebird-odb" - are we talking about FB2 or FB3 ? - FB2 embedded databases are no longer supported in current release versions of LibreOffice see for example bug 104957 - there are a number of already known problems with the embedded Firebird implementation, I am trying to understand whether the problem you are experiencing is one of the already known ones.
See also bug 85146, which seems to be similar to what you are describing
Created attachment 135735 [details] typo in FB-settings ? yes, bug 85146 looks quite similar, and as stated there, the errormessage is reflecting the LO-problem with the non-started driver, not comng from the FB-driver itself. For your guidance: LO 5.4.0/32 portable on Win10, with Java 1.8.-131 portable - FB 3.0(=engine12) (as buildin LO) btw: looking into the extended/expert-settings, I found this (see attached). loading a driver by ":*" looks strange.
@Tamas : any idea ?
Would appear to be windows specific ?
@mhonline : Does this also show in the 64bit build of LibreOffice for Windows ? Am wondering whether the problem is just limited to 32bit version ?
FWIW, the ODB file you provided in the zip attachment opens fine for me on: Version: 5.4.0.3 Build ID: 7556cbc6811c9d992f4064ab9287069087d7f62c CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.12.6; UI render: default; Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Calc: group so no repro for me.
Hmmm, or maybe the problem is with LibreOffice-portable 32bit ?
FB in LO : I gave it a try with - LO 527 port under WinXO/32 - works - can not be opend in LO 540/Win10 - FB Version-difference (engine11) - error-message - LO 5411 under Ubuntu - works - can not be opend in LO in LO 540/Win10 - full crash test-scenario: - open .odb - try open table for enter data (this is, where the crash happens) - try open table for change layout looks as config-problem within LO (LO540/32 on Win10/64-machine) m.

Someone here had the same issue: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5123 Could you please check that you cannot open the ODB file attached even if there are no other tools running? 'Engine12' is a library containing the database engine, which is loaded by library 'fbclient'. 'fbclient' is loaded by LibreOffice. From that point of view I'd rather consider this as a bug in Firebird.

@mhonline : could you answer Tmas' questions please (if possible). Setting to NEEDINFO
@ alex t in parallel testing I gave it a try with LO 5.4. within a virtualbox: XP Sp3/32 with full install of Java 7-80: worked open that odb-file on the Host failed and crashed LO immidiatly. So - for the recap: Win10/64 H (build 1703) LO 5.4. portable - running as LO 32-bit Jportable 1.8-131 no further tools/data-drivers running, FB is not installed separatly starting other java-related functions within LO (calc/function-wizzard) works. What I have is the last log-file from starting java in last session, before LO crashed (see attached (JavaDeployReg.log) martin

The problem seems to be solved with update to 5.4.1 portable, the working .odb-files made with other system-configurations can be opend now. martin
