Dear Friends,

I develop on Windows and Implement on Linux Servers. Earlier with
aug-2000 Release of OS IB
i was able to drop udf Definetions and Upload Linux UDF definetions
without any problems.
The UDF names are offcourse same for example

Windows Definetion -

declare external function f_AddMonth
date,
integer
returns
date /* free_it */
entry_point 'AddMonth' module_name 'FreeUDFLib.dll';

Linux Definetion

declare external function f_AddMonth
date, integer
returns date free_it
entry_point 'add_month' module_name 'FreeUDFLibC';

when i switched to FB RC2 Latest Release for my development environment
i found that
the UDFs used in SPs and Triggers wont get dropped and are not updated
for target system.

If i start old IB server (aug-2000 Release) it allows droppind and
uploading new definetions without any
problems. I feel this feature is good for cross platfom .gdb
compatibilty. If this independancy of UDF is
treated as bug and fixed then i feel we are loosing a cross platform gdb
compatibilty.

Has any body noticed this ? if yes how shall we convert production .gdb
on linux with linux compatible
UDF definetions to Windows with windows compatible UDF definetions.

Thanks
