32/64 bit ODBC Firebird Driver Matrix
I have made a 32/64 bit ODBC Firebird Driver Matrix that could help you choose the right
Firebird odbc driver
Odbc driver must be configured in the corresponding driver admin
(32 bit odbc fb driver = 32 bit ODBC admin)
(64 bit odbc fb driver = 64 bit ODBC admin)
Starting ODBC Administrator can be done from the following dirs on 64 bit systems:
32bit version: \Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
64bit versiom: \Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
Firebird client (32 or 64 bit) can talk to any Firebird server (32 or 64 bit).
