These are just 2 separate databases. Firebird does not require a special extension, ".fdb" ist just the usual extension to use. >From the names I would guess that the .delta database has been derived (copied) from the .fdb database and then changed (hence the delta). > I believe that this is the reason I cannot directly connect to the > FDB file on my new server? It's difficult to say that when you don't specifiy *how* you cannot connect to the fdb file (is there an error message? if so, which one?) > In any event, is there some way to fold these two files back > together into a single FDB? No. At least not a simple, one-click "merge databases" way. Regards Stefan
