Dear sirs,
At our company, we use a copy of the production db as development db, for many
reasons.
When we do that, we make a phisycal copy of the fdb file.
We observed that, when we make this copy, the generators are not updated, what
forces us to update manually the development
Never copy the FDB file! You WILL corrupt both FDB and copy file!
The best approach is do a gbak to backup and then restore the FDB.
You MUST read the firebird FAQ here: http://www.firebirdfaq.org/

Although I agree with your advice, in general copying the file can corrupt
the target file, but it cannot corrupt not the source file. Usually for
copying a file the copy program will acquire a read lock, so nothing is
changed and the database process can continue writing to the file without

Ok, thanks. This is well known.

Thanks, Mark. This is exactly what I needed to know.
We know about the risks making copies this way, but this is done by another
person, not by ourselves. Since there is a minimal chance of having troubles,
certainly they will happen (see Murphy laws). But dividing

Generators are not written to disk every time they're changed.

Mark,
I agree your explanation is highly logical.
But, using the words that were told to me by another developer, the generators
values he found are previous values (the last used values at the development db
before the overwriting by the new copy) (may be this information is not 100% of

Even then, it would still show (older) values from production, not from
your previous test
We run FB over Windows.
The db file were overwritten, not a db restore.
Also the information about the generators values can´t be taken as confident
informations.
I think I have been well attended by all of you. I have enough information
about that to me.
Thanks to all,
Roberto Camargo.
I'll test in 2.5.1 and file a bug report.

Please, say that to the one who does it. That´s not me.
Under normal conditions, those who doesn´t know how to make the things in a
right manner don´t ask for a technical help. So is and so will long to be this

How can I configure the location of all Firebird temporary, sort and
