Is there an official way to detect if a database has changed? I have some expensive reports and backups to run, but if I know that the database has not changed since I last ran them I can skip those.
fbstat (gstat) shows the next transaction number, but that changes even when only read-only transactions have run. Currently I am looking at the timestamp of the .fdb file, which also changes when only read-only transactions run. I would like to know if the data or schema actually changed, not just a transaction has run that didn't change anything. Thanks Hamish
