Quite right. But security2.fdb (that's what you mean, isn't it?) is
at
least encrypted. And, if I read the supplement to the firebird book
correctly, better encrypted than ever.

But I'm really out of my depth here. And if I think about the
_present_ "security" of the data I'm just converting to Firebird,
I'll stop this right now.
