Would be fine for me, too, but I suppose you'd have about the same security risk compared to a virtual table/view: you could set permissions on a virtual table/view too I suppose, and couple that to Kjell's idea for flags in aliases.conf.
Regardless, I would appreciate a reasonable way to get this info. If having this in an API would be easier/more elegant than a system view, that's fine with me. In any case, Kjell's suggestion to extend aliases.conf would be quite clear, and allow granular administration as well! This will remove the need to have an extra option in firebird.conf. -- Regards, jb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forrester Wave Report - Recovery time is now measured in hours and minutes not days.
