In other words, an external tool is probably not a valid option: it
would be better to have something within your application, so that you
don't have to shut it down in order for replication to work.

CopyCat should work fine with FireBird embedded, and since it's a
component set rather than an external tool, the above should be easy to
implement.

Alan (Tse), I'm preparing the example you asked for, which is why I
haven't responded to your email yet. There should be no problem
implementing this, I just need to convert my example from IBX to UIB, so
that I can switch the client library (which, of course, IBX doesn't
support). I'll be sending it to you ASAP.
