Firebird does support dynamic changes, you can change the database
schema while users are connected.
Dmitry was referring more to the inherent risks of using a production
database as a development platform -- schema changes need to be tested
and carefully applied.
In our case, we use strict SQL script numbering process along with a
CI process that ensures that all scripts are checked/tested against
exemplar database*0*s before a master script is created/applied.
And even then you can have fun when one of your production databases has
patterns of data that weren't included in your test data sets.
