Well, you have read my comments. As to "bugs being in pre-release versions of Firebird" - with a handful of exceptions (effects of changes to FB), bugs that WERE in pre-release versions of FB are STILL in the antecedent Open Edition Interbase. Study the Firebird buglist (both fixed and open) and figure it out....

The thing that astonishes me is that there are folk out there who continue to assume that those old, untested Interbase beta binaries are production-safe... at best, they have the bug-fixes that Borland had harvested from the Firebird tree at the time they were built - and that is a VERY long time ago in Firebird-days.

regards,
Helen
