I need to apply some metadata changes, like:

Update Rdb$Fields set Rdb$Collation_ID =
(Select C.Rdb$Collation_ID from Rdb$Collations C
where C.Rdb$Collation_Name='ES_ES_CI_AI')
where Rdb$Field_Name='D_NOMBRE';

(Changing a domain collation)

Is there any chance to see changes applied to database without the
backup/restore cycle? Is there any other way to change domain collation?

Thanks!
