I have downloaded Firebird-4.0.0.1817_x64.zip but I am not sure how to deploy it. Do I just copy it over the 1436 installation (except for conf files)?
There were changes between the beta 1 release and the current snapshots of Firebird 4. I'd recommend renaming your current config for safekeeping, and copying over the firebird.conf and then use a diff tool to see which settings you modified.
I see it contains a new folder "tzdata" which I presume holds resources required for WITH TIME ZONE types. But, I also notice there is no WOW64 folder (which I presume contains libraries for 32-bit applications to use). I need this because I use IBExpert, which I believe is a 32-bit application. Will the 1436 32-bit client library will be compatible with 1817? If not, where do I get the 1817 32-bit stuff from?
You can download the 32 bit snapshot of Firebird 4 for the 32 bit library files.
