Sorry if this has been answered before, but I just
need a clarification. An earlier message states:

"Forced Writes ON will write the data to disk as soon as
there's a change. Forced Writes OFF, by definition, will
write the data to disk when the system is idle, but under
Windows this is performed only when all of the connections
are disconnected. Your database could start with 3MB in
size and insert 3GB and never see the physical size increase
until all connections are disconnected. To my knowledge,
the problem doesn't exist on the other platforms(OS)."

Is this problem still present on Firebird 1.5 for NT?
What about Firebird 1.02? What about Firebird 1.0?

[On a sidenote, for a feature as potentially havoc-ridden
as this, EMS Quickdesk does not issue a proper warning in
the check box to disable it...]


Also, bug entry 447008 at sourceforge,
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1
09028&aid=447008&group_id=9028
is very confusing, the summary says:

Win32 Forced Writes Default = ON

With the introduction of IB 6.0 the default settings
for newly created databases, under Win32, was chnaged
to OFF. This change was made to improve database
performance but at the expense of database
integrity/recovery.

So which is the default? ON or OFF?
