Using Jaybird Firebird JDBC driver with Ubuntu/Debian - cli way

I have used eclipse to create  simple console projects before and there it's easy to add references to the jaybird-full-*.jar , This time i wanted to compile from the shell.

Download jaybird from firebird jdbc download page
unzip it somewhere in your home
I usually put in a dir named  jdbc_client

cd ~/jdbc_client

compile it

javac -cp jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar examples/DriverExample.java

run it

java -cp jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar:examples DriverExample

It will trow you

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jaybird21 in java.library.path

Simple fix is to use the pure type4 java jdbc driver and this is done by using the magic "localhost/3050:" in the connection string



After that it starts ok

java -cp jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar:examples DriverExample

Closing database resources and rolling back any changes we made to the database.

Now we try the Jni way (aka using the not so pure driver)
chmod +x libjaybird21.so
Seems to be compiled for 32 bit (i'm on 64 but i have already the lib32 libs)

ldd ./libjaybird21.so 
 linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf770d000)
 libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf76c7000)
 libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf756d000)
 libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5 (0xf74b3000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf770e000)
 libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf748d000)
 libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7470000)

To run using the compiled interface you need to add the -Djava.library.path when you run the program also change the connection string by adding the native keyword ":native:localhost/3050:"

java -Djava.library.path=. -cp jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar:examples DriverExample

For me it didn't worked because i have a 64bit machine so i need a jaybird source recompilation

libjaybird21.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)
