thank's a lot
i'm using firebird from is born and i'm very
sutisfied from it , only one thing is not useful
replication in fact. I try with shadow i 've an application
that must live 24 for hours a day and a fail over is very problematic for me
backup restore is not useful shadow maybe.
I use php+apache2+firebird a corruption by application using is very
difficult to verify ( latest famous words..................)
i need to repristinate latest dats as soon as possible shadow maybe
the solution.
the top will be a network replication like mysql native replication system
is it a new feautures of firebird 2.0?
