Hi all,

I'm facing a strange problem for the first time with FB

I have a customer which deliveres about 150 invoices per day, and it
uses Firebird for about 5 years to generate the packing list from the
invoices. The generation process is based on a single query which get
the invoice items and values inside a Delphi + IBO program, and then
the program inserts the items in the packing list.

Recently the customer started to report a problem where sometimes the
number of items in the packing list was different from the number of
items in the invoice. It is happening about 2 or 3 times per day, not
every day.

After many tests, i wasn't able to find out the reason, so i asked the
employee who generates the packing list to turn IBObjects sql monitor
on all the time, and i did wait to see the results.

Today the problem happened. Now i have the SQL history in hand and i
can see the SQL instruction (it has no parameters), i see the lines
returned and it is missing two rows in the result set, compared to the
same query executed again later in IBExpert.

I also use IBLogManager in this database, and i can say for sure
nobody inserted, deleted or modified any item in this invoice after
the packing list was generated. (i see no changes in log records, and
also the generated pk values are sequential for all items of this
invoice and keep in the sequence for the next invoice, so no records
was inserted or removed)

The only change i did recently was a FB upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4

The plans used in IBO and in IBExpert are exact the same.

Do someone have a clue where else should i search to find out what is
happening in this database?

Regards,

Fabiano.
