Nope - not possible. This is done by the customer. They have no tools. They just run my Update program, and their database is updated.

With DBISAM, for example, they store a version number in each table. On every startup, I can now check all their tables, and check version numbers against what is current. If any of their tables are not current, I update them silently. Works great.

I know this is not possible with Firebird. But I still need the update process.

I guess you could say I am writing the tool you speak of.
