IB Expert Access - IBExpert.stg storage

Question

I have a Firebird 2.5 Database in IB Expert; whenever I open IBExpert I get this following error:

IBExpert currently uses IBExpert.stg (C:Users\xyz\AppData\Roaming\HK-Software\IBExpert\IBExpert.stg) as a main storage for its data.

This way is obsolete now and will not be supported in the future.

Instead we strongly recommend to setup IBExpert User Database in Options|Environment Options| User Database.

What is the solution for this? What should I do to eliminate this message/error ? I am completely new to Firebird/IBExpert, so any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

IBExpert.stg is the database where IBExpert keep the own data by default(in own format). You can set own firebird database instead.

To do this use : Options => Environment Options => IbExpert User Database

• check Allow user database check box;

• write database name in User database connection string edit box;

• press Create and Init User database button.

Update
