[firebird-support] Does anyone know ExitCode/ErrorLevel values for gfix?
Hi guys. My application needs to call gfix every day to check our clients databases. How can I know the result of gfix execution? I would not like to parse the output messages from the console. I would like to know the ExitCode returned by the gfix executable but I can not find description for it on the Internet. Could anyone provide me with this information? Thanks.

Re: [firebird-support] Does anyone know ExitCode/ErrorLevel values for gfix?
Hej, AFAIK there are no dedicated return codes for gfix. So you'll get a non-zero return code if there is a problem while executing gfix, but not from gfix when there are any problems with a database. cheers, Marcus un_spoken schrieb: > Hi guys. > > My application needs to call gfix every day to check our clients databases. > How can I know the result of gfix execution?

Hm, that is surprising. Newer versions of Firebird support altering the COMPUTED BY clause. What version of Firebird are you using?

> Could anyone provide me with this information? http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/gfix-caveats.html#d0e30504 Sadly, that's not much use. It's the part of the gfix manual that says "almost all exit codes from gfix, even up to version 2, are zero". I haven't tested gfix 2.5 yet, but at least as far as 2.0 it's almost always zero, even in the event of a problem. I'll check and get back tou you to see if there's anything in the release notes from 2.0 onwards that may have changed this.

I've checked all the release notes and it seems the error reporting problem was raised as CORE-1548 on tracker, and was fixed in 2.1 RC1. I checked my 2.5.1 gfix and attempting to shutdown a shut database returns 1 while a successful shutdown returns 0. So, you might need to be on at least 2.1 RC1 to get the benefits. HTH Cheers, Norm. PS. I'll update the docs to clarify this. -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767

Re: [firebird-support] Computed field Dependencies
Hi, > i´m using firebird-server-classic-2.1.3.18185.0-5mdv2010.0 In that case, here's how DBW does it for you: // delete field dependencies for field "MYTESTFIELD" delete from rdb$dependencies where rdb$dependent_name = (select f.rdb$field_name from rdb$fields f join rdb$relation_fields rf on rf.rdb$field_source = f.rdb$field_name where rf.rdb$relation_name = 'DML_TEST1' and rf.rdb$field_name = 'MYTESTFIELD'); // add temporary test field ALTER TABLE DML_TEST1 ADD DBW$$TEMP COMPUTED BY ( 'test' || 'moere' ); // copy generated BLR from temp test field to your test field UPDATE rdb$fields SET RDB$COMPUTED_BLR = (select RDB$COMPUTED_BLR from rdb$fields where rdb$field_name = (select rdb$field_source from rdb$relation_fields where rdb$field_name = 'DBW$$TEMP' and rdb$relation_name = 'DML_TEST1')), RDB$COMPUTED_SOURCE = (select RDB$COMPUTED_SOURCE from rdb$fields where rdb$field_name = (select rdb$field_source from rdb$relation_fields where rdb$field_name = 'DBW$$TEMP' and rdb$relation_name = 'DML_TEST1')) WHERE rdb$field_name = (select rdb$field_source from rdb$relation_fields where rdb$relation_name = 'DML_TEST1' and rdb$field_name = 'MYTESTFIELD'); COMMIT; // create valid new dependencies insert into rdb$dependencies select * from rdb$dependencies where rdb$dependent_name = (select f.rdb$field_name from rdb$fields f join rdb$relation_fields rf on rf.rdb$field_source = f.rdb$field_name where rf.rdb$relation_name = 'DML_TEST1' and rf.rdb$field_name = 'DBW$$TEMP'); // drop temporary computed field ALTER TABLE DML_TEST1 DROP DBW$$TEMP; If this doesn't help for you, I'd be interested in a copy of the database to see what's going on. ;) Hope this helps.

I've updated the docs for gfix to reflect the fact that prior to 2.1RC1 error exits were zero, regardless, but since 2.1RC1, success returns zero while errors return 1. A new pdf is available at http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/Firebird-gfix.pdf and html is online at http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/gfix.html - although you may need to refresh your cache to make sure you have the latest.

[firebird-support] Database version
Hello, what is the best approach to assign a version to the database. Let's say it's starts with 1.0.1.1 then 1.0.1.2.. etc,, I'm looking at storing it with the DB itself. Is there a way to store it and read it from system variables?.. I wanted to use a DB field but it sounds too much for what I want to accomplish. Thank you, -Halim

[firebird-support] Re: Restart and stop Firebird 2.5.2 on Linux
Hello Konstantin: Yes, I saw your post earlier but I was unable to find those files scripts. I am new in Linux and the Linux installation on the server was made by a supplier. I think the installation was not normal because there are some files and folders that are not in the normal installation routes, eg FireBird manual indicates that the installation path is /opt/firebird, on my server there is no such path. But keep looking for those files scripts :) I appreciate very much your help.
