load/0 is an Erlang function exported by "firebird" module. This function is required to be invoked implicitly to load the external Firebird client library. The main reason to keep this flexibility available for the developer is that Firebird has two versions of the client library - one for Client-Server mode, and one for Embedded mode. Without parameter, this function automatically loads the Firebird client library for Client-Server mode as follows: •Under Windows OS this library is expected to be found within the DB Driver libs path installation directory (priv); •Under Linux OS this library is searched automatically in OS files path environment. You have the flexibility, of course, to load this external library by selecting its full path (see load/1). |
