I suggest to read all release notes since 1.5 on https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/release-notes/ Also read the "Firebird 2 Migration & Installation". Although I haven't read it myself, consider buying "Migration Guide to Firebird 3" by Carlos Cantu, see https://www.firebirdnews.org/migration-guide-to-firebird-3/ Mark -- Mark Rotteveel
