[Firebird-devel] User password for encryption

2016-04-25 Thread Emil Totev

2019-03-26 Thread Emil Totev
The question remained unanswered in firebird-support, so I am trying it here. Basically I'm asking how can a client connect via XNET to a firebird server using non-default IpcName, for example "Firebird4". -- Forwarded message - Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2019 at 09:30 Subject: XNET and Ipc

[Firebird-devel] Firebird 4 and ODS 12

2019-05-30 Thread Emil Totev
I wonder would it be possible to make Firebird 4 work with ODS 12 (Firebird 3) databases? Before Firebird 3 it was relatively easy to upgrade your Firebird server - your databases could stay in the old ODS and be upgraded one by one, and it was easier to go back in case of incompatibilities. But w

[Firebird-devel] Casting BOOLEAN

2020-05-27 Thread Emil Totev
It seems that it is only possible to CAST() from/to boolean as char/varchar (values 'TRUE' and 'FALSE'), and the same also applies to the new SET BIND OF BOOLEAN TO type-to. Is this restricted by the SQL standard? Wouldn't it also make sense to be able to cast /set bind of booleans to any numeric
