Endian-ness for embedded Firebird seems to be the elephant in the room

Oh - wow, I didn't know that. Wow - that is awful. That crushed my

Alex: seems the problem existed before Aug 2016, but not anymore. See
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72987#c14 and
comment 17 which refer to

Quoting from Lionel's comment 17:
'The problem was fixed by saving (within the odb zip structure) firebird
data in an endianess-independent format, called the "backup" format, in
a file with extension ".fbk".'
