Hello Bob,
Is there any way to tell if the sweep was successful other than all of
the markers matching? Is there any way to tell why a sweep would have
failed?
No. You should manually check transactions' markers difference, or use
tool like FBDataGuard which can check it in desired time
Alan,
I've already tried that. I described it in my previous post. The problem
is the password ciphers seem too long compared to the RDB$PASS data
type. I could try to change the type of RDB$PASS, but I don't know if
it's safe to mess with the domains in security DB.

I'm not quite sure the data itself is valid (and whether pumping it to
another database will fix the problem). I suspect there might be
something wrong

Just got an answer on firebird-devel. I'll try the solution proposed by
Dmitry Yemanov and post a summary in the afternoon.

Problem solved, thanks to Thomas Steinmaurer and Dmitry Yemanov.
Here's what to do when you experience problems regarding users with
elevated privileges not being able to alter other users via SQL.
1. Disconnect all clients from Firebird.
2. Copy security2.fdb to another location.
3. Connect to

We are having an issue with caching when using Firebird 2.5.1 on a Windows
Server 2008 box. The system flies when turning forced writes off, but we don't
want to operate that way.
The strange thing is that we have a number of clients using 2.5.1 on Windows
Server 2008 and nobody has brought
The database is bigger than the RAM memory?
If yes this is an issue of 2.5.1
You do not need a backup/restore cycle for migrating to 2.5.2

Maybe you can go to the Dell website and check this.
In Portuguese is controladora SAS6/IR (suporta apenas RAID 0 e 1), sem
cachê).
Or SAS6/IR controller with no cache.
Maybe you can call them and check this (sorry I have no internet connection)

I believe this is the problem.
We found the setting when looking at the Device Manager. The 'enable write
caching' is turned off. It won't allow us to turn it on. I am guess the
hardware doesn't allow it.
In the Windows Help it mentions that turning it on can cause issues with
corruption.
In our test we can turn on but there are no result in terms of performance.
Is a hardware issue.
I think changing the disk controller and turning write caching on does not
have any problem is the default installation on Windows!
