Hi vlad

i have relay same problem about index in FB
finally decide migrate from firebird to postgresql or oracle(seems must)

1.if firebird must need grow to enterprise space first solve some background problem such ans index errors

2.if firebird don't support online change of dml then i think is not one *enterprise* RDBMS and is only one workgroup DB.....
if some action (such as change dml) in online DB is wrong FB must do raise error and dont do it.... but you think about change table A without any relation to table B ...doing some fault in B !
i dont understand why can not chnge table struct and add own field to table A when users only work with table B ?

i do up dramatically with postgresql in other project and have not *any* problem .....

accept reality sometimes HARD !
