I had the same problem on one of my computers and did the following as a work around. 1) copy the machine.config to another directory you own and make changes to file in this directory. 2) Copy machine.config back to original directory. I know it sounds odd because if you can't modify a file you should be able to overwrite it, but it worked for me. HTH John

But during development it is not much of a problem provided you develop a DDL script that drops and recreates the entire set of objects in the database. Just drop the old set of objects (table plus all dependent objects), rename the table in your script, and then recreate the database. If your database setup involves time-consuming import of lots of data, that is apparently not an entirely satisfactory solution. > I see that there is already an old request in the firebird tracker > that the "firebird developers arrogance" has chosen to ignore... You're probably talking about this one: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-2486 You say that "every other DBMS supports renaming a table." Well, MySQL/MyISAM can do it quite easily because it hardly supports any referential integrity. Reading the issue, the way this is implemented in real SQL servers is not as useful as it sounds: This feature could only be implemented after support for "invalidating" metadata objects was added to the Firebird engine, since attempting to replace all table references in the source 'code' of the dependent objects would be much too risky to consider. (This is how Oracle and Postgres have implemented the feature -- they mark all existing objects as invalid and require the developer to correct the references themselves.) So it's far from automatic. All things considered, editing the DDL script using search/replace and recreating the database may be a lot easier. > a real shame....if this is the case, I assume that "firebird > developers" never worked in a production/development > environment....I'm switching back to Oracle.

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.

All databases do have bugs and there are relational unexplored corners on all of them but please don't be a a troll and fill a wrong mailing list with wrong question and big caps we are all smart , and you too and we do know how to solve the rdbms issues and workarounds and in the end what this has to do with this .net list ? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ > ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate > GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
