Thankyou for your responses. Since my post, I have also extracted the ddl and successfully re-created a native fb db.
Given the advice received from the posts - I will re-attempt a gbak on IB5.6 without the procs/triggers/views and re-create on the FB restored db in order to pinpoint the error.

Once I am confortable with finding the error - I'll then re-create using the correct method.


As an aside and off-topic:
One of the reasons for attempting this method was to ASAP satisfy executives and business colleagues re: the performance of Firebird.

Comparing this same db (1 table with 1.8M rows) on similar hardware:
Box A running IB 5 on SCO OpenServer5
Box B running FB 2.0.3 SLES 10.1

Query 1: Box A = 20 plus minutes, Box B = 7 seconds.
Query 2: Box A = 5 plus minutes, Box B = 26 seconds.

Moving to Firebird is a pleasure !!!
Thankyou !!!
