Hi,
i followed the guideline here
http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/nullguide-alter-pop-tables.html
to change an already populated column to nullable (constraint has no name).
The guideline involves updating a system table in such a case and in 3.0 they
are read-only now. What would be the way t

Hi,
I wanted to experiment with the dbcrypt sample deployed with FB 3.0. But all I
found was the source code file in the examples folder.
Is there any documentation on what is needed to get a compiling project? And
some documentation about the used/needed interfaces in that example and how

Hi,
unfortunately, my question didn't get anything as response so I assume that
there isn't a documentation dedicated to writing plugins.
Let me try a more concrete question on the subject.
I was reading the Release Notes here
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/3
What Exception?
Sql92 seems to not state anything in that regard. So this belongs presumably
into the implementation specific area.
I’m sure if it had been defined there it would not be a clear yes/no thing.
For example, Firebird allows this even when the select clause contains DISTINCT
so that

Hi,
is there an easy/official way to check the ODS versions?
I was going the gstat route but the 2.5 gstat doesn't know anything about ODS
12 and up and the 3.0 gstat only knows about ODS 12 and up.
Both gstats throw errors in case of an unknown ODS Version but it feels wrong
relying on that erro
I missed to say that it’s all about embedded usage. So before executing any
statement I would need to know what firebird library to use for connecting.
My use case is actually detecting pre ODS 12 databases and doing a
backup/restore to get them into the current format.

No Server involved. I am directly using the fbembed/fbclient.dll for for
connecting to an fdb file.

Hi,
i have a .Net application that is using firebird embedded 2.5 and 3.0
concurrently. That is needed for a smooth, almost uninterrupted, transition
from 2.5 to 3.0 databases for that application.
Starting the application and using 2.5 and 3.0 databases in parallel simply
works. But after doin

Are there any settings or something to change/manage the behavior or monitor
the progress?
For example, I would need to be able to start stop that backgro
Yes, monitoring seems to be possible. Automating gstat isn't really nice but
looking at the system tables should be ok.
But what about stopping/resuming the progress?

Hi,
Ø how often do you encrypt database? i suppose that only once.
Sure every database only once. In this case a high 6-digit count of databases
around the world that should be upgraded/encrypted only once automatically and
should not interfere with the backup strategy of the
responsible admi

CORE-5154 is marked as fixed with the 3.0.1 release but I still have that

I also have that experience when restoring. But as you said only when there are
problems in the underlying table. Like duplicate values in a column that has a
unique index.
In that case i can only reenable the index when fixing the table. In the cases

Hi,
I have just read the general notes for FB 3.0.3 especially the alert for users
of encryption via a plugin.
That alert seems to refer to CORE-5735. But that issue does not seem to be
readable without special permissions. At least I'm not allowed to read that one
when signed in to the tracker.
I’m using multiple firebird embedded versions from within the same process
without fiddling around in environment variables like FIREBIRD_LOCK or conf
files of the different firebird versions.
There should be no need in doing anything special. Just use the version(s) you
like.
