Subject 2.5 upgrade causing problems
Author Lester Caine
Try again to the right place ...

I'll cut the long version ... writing it all down did at least focus the mind,
and I worked through the problems. So I'm posting the results for reference.

Moving a legacy application from 2.1.2 to 2.5 flagged up a problem. Basically a
very small database kept locking up under some conditions. Having originated in
PRE Interbase days, the database was still Dialect 1. Recreating it as Dialect 3
has solved the problem and while it would be nice to know why at least stable
function has been restored.

The 2.1.2 UDF is giving an error relating to free_it ... now how DID I compile
that originally :) Must put the notes somewhere I can find them ...

Follow-up
---------
OK I was fairly sure that the notes were in an email on either this list or the
firebird-php one, but I can't find them now :( Can someone give me a quick boot
up as to the command line bits to compile a 'udf.c' file into a 'udf.so' -
Please ...
