There is a significant difference between the channge to view
updates and other incompatible changes we made in V1.0 and V1.5.
In all cases to date, the change has caused programs that had
run correctly to report errors. That's inconvenient.

This change allows a running program to continue to run, but
produces different (and in the mind of the developer) incorrect
results. Where records had been inserted, updated, or deleted
with earlier versions, Firebird 2 will silently do nothing.

It's one - annoying - thing to discover that your program is
throwing new errors. It's another to discover - if you ever
do - that it's silently throwing away your data.

Regards,
