Seems that this is more question to Firebird-Support group than to
Firebird-Java. You'd better ask there.

First of all, check that forced writes are set to true (some time ago
it was false by default). Also, check if data are flushed to disk
after commit (do a commit and the kill the application, so that
connection is not cleanly closed, then check if your data are there).
