Hi *,No problem with embedded databases, since they are stores as gbak backup format
Moreover
1) we still use FB 3.0.7 whereas 2 major releases have been published (4 and 5) and version 6 is in dev.
At minimum, we should upgrade to version 5 to avoid trying to fix bugs on a old FB version.
What would happen with all the old Firebid databases then? Might be a good idea first to put to newest version and then to set non experimental, but there are many people already using internal Firebird and it should work without any problems when changing version of LO (and changing Firebird-version this way).
Yes, this could be a good idea, but any case we need an option to relaunch the migration wizard
2) what about the existing odb with HSQL Embedded, should we propose migration towards FB each time knowing there are still quite some bugs about it?
I would prefer to add a special switch like "don't ask again". So old HSQLDB still would exist
I'm using always Firebird too, and as you say I haven't had unresoluble problems. But my use is only at home, and of course if you install for other people the database is more tested...
3) there are not a lot of bugs about FB LO implementation per se because it's experimental but we may expect a fload of them if FB is not experimental again => who will take in charge the fload ?
Every new database I create for other people or companies I create as Firebird database. A lot of bugs have been fixed. If you know where to look for you will get a good working database…
