You won't get more up to date than that anywhere. For Fb3, which allows per-database config for a lot of parameters, see the release notes.

The command-line tools are all documented but some could do with updating, admittedly. You can catch up with any new switches in those apps by running them with the -? switch. Vol. 3 of TFB2e covers them all in more detail, up to the earlier releases of Fb 2.5, but it's not free. HB --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

[firebird-support] Re: tempdirectories
is there a good and up to date official source of documentation on firebird.conf and other admin? I can't find anything in the https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/reference-manuals/ https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/reference-manuals/ that is as good as the older release notes, nor the janus software document. This https://www.firebirdsql.org/pdfmanual/html/qsg25-config.html https://www.firebirdsql.org/pdfmanual/html/qsg25-config.html list some configuration details, but I can see it hasn't got all of firebird.conf's options. (by "I can't find" I obviously mean that google can't find!)

Hello, Don't install from repo, better download installation package from firebirdsql.org and install it instead.

If something is "deprecated", it is still valid but likely to be dropped in a subsequent release. From Fb 2 onward, Fb was made more tolerant of directory names with spaces, hence the need to drop such embellishments.

The author of that ticket was the developer who wrote the parser code. ;-) It looks as though he'd discovered unintended behaviour when the parser landed on a space in a directory name...the older code to truncate out anything following a space (i.e., assumed to be the now-invalid allocation size) was gaily truncating forward from the first space in the directory name itself. (That was an amazing piece of searching that dug that up!) Helen --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com
