[firebird-support] FB 2.0.5 forced writes

2011-10-31 Thread sboydlns 
I have been having database corruption problems with a Firebird 2.0.5 database 
on Windows 2008 32-bit.  I checked the forced writes setting and forced writes 
were disabled.  I says to myself I says, AHA this is the problem.  So I use 
gfix to enabled forced writes.  I check that there were enabled using gstat.  
Everything looks good.  If I wait a couple of seconds and check using gstat 
again, forced writes are once more disabled.

That the heck is going on?  We certainly don't have any processes that are 
disabling forced writes.

What access layer do you use? For example, IBObjects has a forced writes 
property at TIB_Connection level, if not set to default, it allows you 
to set forced writes on/off.
