Bug ID: 168143
Summary: Embedded Firebird databases aren't
cross-platform/portable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

Create an Firebird embedded ODB on Windows. Open and save it in LibreOffice
(same version!) on Linux, where system Firebird is version 4 or higher. Try to
open it again on Windows.
Since our bundled FB is v.3, and on Linux, the system version is used
(including gbak), we have a problem here. The saving using a newer FB version
has upgraded the database data in our package - and now we can't use it on
Windows.
If there were a way to use embedded FB on Linux, we would need to do that, even
when there is system FB available - just because of this.
And of course, upgrading our bundled FB is badly needed; and yes it will break
backward compatibility of the ODBs, for the same reason.
