Hi Stuart,
Download FirstAID from www.ib-aid.com, run FirstAID Extractor and open
your database. It "decrypts" data from Firebird database using its
internal structures and shows you the values of fields in tables' records.

OK, but version numbers tell me nothing. What I am looking for is an
explanation of how Firebird (the package) can tell which bytes belong
to which fields. Somehow Firebird must be able to tell the difference
between the following two records:
FirstName LastName
'Jim' 'Starkey'
'Jim Starkey' ''
It may well be that it was coded in the Interbase days and has not
been looked up until now. Or maybe it's the blob in the
"RDB$DESCRIPTOR" field, in which case I do not know how to decode it
into text.

No for all questions. The record is a) run length encoded and b)
contains a format version number that must be looked up in
rdb$formats.

Hello Firebird Developers:
Pardon me, but I found the structs I was looking for in
the source code (it was hard!). I don't want to bog you
down with novice questions, but I want to know two things:
1. Is there a field (e.g., "fp_field_type") in the field
or record header that would indicate the field type?
2. What indicates the end (or, alternatively, size in
bytes) of a non-final field in a record with two or more
fields?
Thank you!
Stuart
