Hi
We have a custom installer that helps install Firebird with our Windows
only application. We have always installed Win FB 32bit previously but
with more Windows 64bit installs happening we are considering installing
64bit on some systems. However I have the following questions.
1) If I backup a DB on a 64bit system DB can it be restored and used on
a 32bit system?
2) If I backup a DB on a 32bit system DB can it be restored and used on
a 64bit system?
3) Are any different flags required when using gBak if restoring a DB in
either 1 or 2 above?
4) Can 32 bit clients access 64bit dbs?
5) Can 64 bit clients access 32bit dbs?
6) is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Thanks
Rob
