[firebird-support] detect if database has changed
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
[firebird-support] select column if it exists
Is there a way to include a column in a SELECT but substitute a value if it doesn't? I need my code to work with different versions of my db schema. eg I want to SELECT A, B, C, ... but C might not exist. SELECT * would work of course, except it will fetch a bunch of columns I don't need. thanks Hamish
