I'm appalled at how developers ignore this request, it is either a lack of experience (they never worked in a REAL company in a REAL production environment) or arrogance.
Just last week, we renamed a table in SQL Server on a production environment....the table itself contained over 1 TERABYTE of data. The rename operation took 2-3 seconds. So on firebird, you want me to create a new table, import 1 TERABYTE of data, REBUILD THE INDEXES, and drop the old table? What kind of ****** nonsense is that? That is a minimum 3 day operation and meanwhile, all the production applications (that are updated to use the new table name) will be unavailable during that time. Again, what kind of ****** nonsense is that? Why firebird developers ignore this request....it's just amazing.
