JR> If you don't have a lot of external users, the IBExpert Database
Comparer tool can actually make the updates after creating the script. This
may be available only in the paid version of the tool. It's the best tool I
have found JR> for Firebird databases, it's not too expensive. The only
downside is that the payment process is pretty archaic, but I have done it a
couple of times now and it worked ok.

I was actually using this until a couple of months ago, but then I trashed
my installation and was reluctant to buy another. Their support people told
me that my licence had 'expired' - I guess they meant support licence. So
rather than fork out another few hundred Euros, I thought I try a different
tack.

I may buy another one because it was very nice, if a little unstructured.

But with many users (as we hope to have) maybe Svein's suggestion is right
because then I can automate it.

However, I am where I am. Maybe I'll use Database Comparer to get myself
back to a consistent position and then use Svein's suggestion.

Thanks Guys.

Regards

Steve
