I like the suggestion, but one question. How much are we sure that this commands are not used in some popular client tool? Do you remember the case with ibase.h cleanup which broken kinterbasdb stable build? Fix is certainly trivial, done in SVN - but current stable kinterbasdb does not build with current stable firebird (2.5.1). We should better avoid such things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
