Subject Bug? My Mistake? gbak metadata generators go haywire
Author Namit Nathwani
Hi all

I have tried to attach 2 screen shots of the database generators before and
after gbak, hope they are visible on the list.

I have this situation wherein I had an original database with generator
values as they should be. I gbak'ed this database's metadata and restored
the same as per batch file below.

Supposing the original value of a generator GEN_AACCOUNTS_IID is 12. After
gbak it turned up as 1153008335963779696, in fact all of the generators,
irrespective of the original value is set to this.

Please advise what I did wrong.


My batch file text:

@ECHO OFF

IF "%1"=="" GOTO :PROJNAME


"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\gbak.exe" -meta_data -user
sysdba -password masterkey C:\VSO3\Projects\%1\Data\VSO3.FDB
C:\TRASHCAN\META.FDB

"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\gbak.exe" -create_database
-user sysdba -password masterkey C:\TRASHCAN\META.FDB
D:\VSO3\Projects\%1\Data\Original\VSO3.FDB

DEL C:\TRASHCAN\META.FDB

GOTO :END


:PROJNAME
ECHO:
ECHO:
ECHO Please provide the Project Code
ECHO:

:END
