[firebird-support] Proper way to handle an open Firebird database...

[Javier Cintron fcintr...@yahoo.com [firebird-support]]

Firebird ver 2.5.7.27050 64 bitsSuperserverWindows Server 2012R2
I have two questions:   
   - When I need to copy my Firebird database: Do I need to shutdown the 
Firebird instance first? and If yes, what is the proper way to shutdown and 
startup it?
   - When I need to restart Windows Server, Do I need to shutdown the Firebird 
instance first? 
Thanks in advance
