Hi!

If I deploy embedded firebird without options file, what will be then
ForcedWrites value?

My client used my program (written with delphi and dbexpress) with
embedded FB (without conf file) on Win95 and database got corrupted
(cheksum error on database page X, it's still possible to connect and
select from some tables, but can't backup)

What could have caused this? (My client admits having turned power
off when the program hanged but I believe there was no db request in
progress at that time; im not sure, though). Actually, none of the
methods described in FB getting started guide ("How to corrupt a
database": modify medatata, disable forced writes (???), restore over
a running db, log in during restore) were available to my client.

I tried to "gfix -m database.fdb" but it did not help. Does it mean
that it's not possible to recover database from this corruption? Is
it possible to recover only the tables/rows that are not corrupted?

What to do to avoid this kind of corruption? Any special setting or
something?


Thanks in advance!
