Then gpre should check the server version and if it's FB3 or newer, reject
DDL that produces DYN. Fortunately, the check can be done indirectly through
the ODS, since FB3 only uses ODS12.
While we are at it, I wonder if isql v3 can connect to older servers. At
least I tried with isql v3 and server v2.5 running and this TCP path
isql
localhost:F:\fb2dev\fbbuild\firebird25\temp\Win32\Debug\firebird\bin\src.fdb
-user sysdba -pass masterkey
but had no success. If isql v3 is only for FB3, then checks like this in
isql
if (isqlGlob.major_ods < ODS_VERSION11)
return;
are obsolete and can be deleted. I tried the same TCP path using isql v2.5
to server v2.5 and got no problems, so I assume it's not my machine.
