Hi *,
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).
No problem with embedded databases, since they are stores as gbak backup
format
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
Yes, this could be a good idea, but any case we need an option to
relaunch the migration wizard
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…
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...
