really i don't thing so :( if it's was in our code so why it's happen suddenly after we decide to change a little the structure of our database by adding one special table with around 25 index in it ?

hmm, the server is dedicated to Firebird, and as i m paranoid, i don't install any other software except firebird on the server ... so except if it's the windows system (windows 2008 R2) i don't know what can cause this !


thanks for all !
