Hi everybody,

I'm working on a Firebird application where the user can perform a
backup (gbak) through our user interface. We'd like to save time by
skipping the backup if the user hasn't made any changes to the
database since the last backup.

We're looking into ways of doing this in the application code, but I'm
wondering if Firebird has anything built in to help us.

For example, is there some sort of sequence number that gets
incremented after each transaction?

Thanks very much,

David
