Re: [Firebird-devel] Compatibility FB3.0 boolean and Interbase

I probably know even less than you about the internals, but I think it's time to stop assuming that IB and FB will and should be kept compatible. In the long run it not feasible, nor desirable. These are two separate products and must be allowed to find their individual paths forward

Hi,   I know that Firebird go in self direcrion and Interbase is only start point for it but i need to know if is possible to have compatibile descriptor (field type) of Firebird Boolean data type as is in Interbase? Now we got Unknown SQL data type (32764) in IBX when we use FB3.0 database for

I know this is not what many people want to hear, but it's probably high time to consider IB and FB to be two unrelated databases, and never expect them to be compatible in any way. With that mindset and those expectations, you will probably find your life easier. They've diverged. Get
