Martijn,

Thanks for sticking with me on this.

Sounds like I should upgrade the structure of this database to UDS=10. Pavel
suggested using IB6 gbak to backup the database, and the FB gbak to restore
it. Does that seem like the right thing to do?

Jim

Jim,

> Gstat tells me that my database UDS = 9.1

That's an oldish (pre Firebird 1.0) ODS (On Disk Structure).

My best bet is that the ODBC driver supports ODS 10 and
up.

ODS 10 adds a new field (RDB$FIELD_PRECISION) to
system table RDB$FIELDS. So that might be your problem.

You can contact the ODBC driver programmer if you like.

With regards,
