Good Morning!
I am using FB 2.1.0.17798 and Delphi 6.
I have a released version of my app that is in use. While upgrading the app, I have found it necessary to modify some stored procs and to add tables & SPs.
The first time the upgraded app is run, I thought it would be a good idea to backup the existing db, rename the existing, rename the upgraded db then do a restore to the renamed/upgraded db.
But, when I do that, all the new metadata is lost. I end up with the same structure as the original db + the original data.
I can run create or alter statements. Indeed, I had already started down that path. But there quite a few changes from the released metadata to the upgraded db's metadata. I was hoping that I could I could accomplish this with a backup/restore.
