Hi Alexander

Sorry for replying late, but it seems I missed a few mails.

Thanks for responding.

gbak created a non-text file and I am not able to open it in Database
Comparer 2.2, this was the command I used:

GBAK -b -m -pas masterkey -user sysdba -v -z d:\shared\c99\data\vso3.fdb
c:\trashcan\c99.sql

can I generate a script file so I can also automate it's creation on the
development machine. I gave this a try using Marathon (Tools | Metadata
Extract ... | Migrate Database Metadata to a script file) which created
such a script but I am more interested in command line for such a situation

Yes

Yes thanks. Actually I wanted to do it the other way round. I have the
latest structure and application on the development machine.

Now this junior takes this complete database details (CDBD) (without data)
script to the clients machine, does a command line / batch file on the
clients machine and the specified clients database is now updated in
reference to the CDBD script. Again, is there a command line alternative
to dbcomparer?
