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
