When I give wrong backup file to NBACKUP.exe -INPLACE, error is reported
as expected:
NBACKUP -inplace -restore localhost/3333:Z:\export\TESTF2.FDB
Z:\export\x05G.nbk
Invalid incremental backup file: Z:\export\x05G.nbk
NBACKUP -inplace -restore localhost/3333:Z:\export\TESTF2.FDB
Z:\export\x05G.nbk
Invalid incremental backup file: Z:\export\x05G.nbk
But when I do the same using FB Services API (isc_action_svc_nrest,
isc_spb_options+isc_spb_nbk_inplace, ...)
then after the first error the database will remain locked, and all
subsequent attempts to work with it raise:
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = HY000
Error opening database file: Z:\EXPORT\TESTF2.FDB
-The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process
The FB server must be restarted to unlock the file.
(tested with Firebird-4.0.0.1963-0-Beta2 and snapshot
Firebird-4.0.0.1999-0_x64)
I also wanted to test it with FBSVCMGR.exe, but FBSVCMGR does not
recognize switches isc_spb_options/isc_spb_nbk_inplace (neither of
-isc_spb_options, -spb_options, -options)
