v3 fbclient cannot work with servers older than v2.5 via the remote protocol
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-4872
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4872
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 3.0 Beta 2, 3.0 Beta 1
Reporter: Dmitry Yemanov
Historically, BLOB IDs were described as blr_quad in remote messages, because
older server versions don't understand blr_blob2. v3 fbclient breaks this
compatibility by sending blr_blob2 over the wire. ISQL connects fine, SHOW
VERSION executes fine, but "select * from rdb$database" throws "error reading
data from the connection".
I suppose we could simply revert back to the old behavior, but a more clever
approach would be to check the protocol version and use blr_blob2 only if the
server is known to understand it. I'm preparing the patch at the moment.
