OK, so there is really a good situation,
in order to solve a problem that is not solved you and I think the other
developers of firebird introduced the returning of zero.
Jason, who all us knows well, said I will not fix IBO for a bug in the engine.
So for someone like me and other people posting on IBO-List
this is really a mess.
I have to change the IBO code (not for a general part) but for myself
in order to use views.
Also sorry but at least I agree to jason, this is a "bug" introduced in the
latest
release.
I have never encountered problems with rows affected before.
Also why don't you think about Jason proposal to return -1 instead of zero?
