Thanks Ilmari !

I seem to have missed that !

Will need to try it out again, and apologies for my erroneous statement in that case.

Endian-ness for embedded Firebird seems to be the elephant in the room here. ODB files made on MacOS can not easily be shared with other OSes/arch.

     Oh - wow, I didn't know that. Wow - that is awful. That crushed my hopes for a good Firebird based future.

Alex: seems the problem existed before Aug 2016, but not anymore. See https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72987#c14 and comment 17 which refer to https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/0cc1ddf2d8d6bc7df74fdd8f8f97381df681177d

Quoting from Lionel's comment 17:

'The problem was fixed by saving (within the odb zip structure) firebird data in an endianess-independent format, called the "backup" format, in a file with extension ".fbk".'
