I'm wondering what to do about instsvc and ServerMode on windows. Previously instsvc was able to switch between the different architectures because all it had to do was update the registry with the name of the relevant executable and add the -m switch if applicable. Now users need to edit firebird.conf if they want to make this change.
The first question is 'Do we want to allow instsvc (or other tools) to change architecture (ie, directly update firebird.conf)?' The second question is 'If so, then how?'. Ideally we should implement an api call of some sort, perhaps via the services manager. That way it would be available to instsvc and the cpl applet on Windows as well as being available to other platforms. The third question leads on from this - 'Do we want to add a more generic method of updating any entry in firebird.conf?' Thoughts?
