Known Issues

|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-03-14 15:55:48 +01:00
|
|
|
o The installation process fails to detect a running Firebird 2.0 server.
|
|
|
|
|
Ultimately the installation will fail, when it attempts to overwrite a file
|
|
|
|
|
that is active.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o The security database has changed! See the DOC directory for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
Users who wish to migrate an old security database to the new format can
|
|
|
|
|
use the upgrade script in misc/upgrade/security
