Hi,
I am (EVENTUALLY), getting around to upgrading from Firebird 2.5 to Firebird 3.
I purchased the conversion guide, and so far so good, except for this problem,
which I cannot find a mention of anywhere, no online, nor in conversion the

Just my 2c. We have also experienced this on a few PC's.

Hi,
I'd like to add a running total to my result set. For example:

Due,

I'm not sure if this is a problem or not, but I have quite a few

Is this a sign that my code isn't cleaning something up properly, or

Any idea under what circumstances this will happen?
i.e.
Is that not going to be affecting performance in a bad way?
Nope.

They aren't responding to support tickets, or emails either.

By the way, google's query language has a PIVOT syntax:

If you are using just standard query, you might be able to force using ibx,
but i suggest you changed it to FireDAC or dbexpress, it has much better
support for firebird spesific syntax.
Or FIBPlus (which is based on the original IBX source code so is quite
similar), or IBObjects.
I have installed firebird 1.5 with a zip file and delete the bat files. I
need to uninstall and download a newer version, in order for Omni accounts to
work.

Unfortunately not. A 32-bit application can't use more than 4GB, regardless
of how much RAM the 64-bit machine has.

Attributes force write, no reserve
Having no reserve isn't a good option for a regular read/write production

same page as the primary record version, thus additional page reads are
necessary.
