Hi All,

I’m sure I saw a message on here about how it was possible to backup a database from one Firebird/ODS version and restore it to a previous Firebird/ODS version. I am trying to convert a Firebird v2.5 database using GBAK from v2.1 and then successfully restore it on Firebird v2.1.

Now I tried this and successfully backed up the v2.5 database using GBAK from v2.1, but when I came to restoring that gbk on a Firebird v2.1 system it got 99% of the way through the restore, did all the tables, indices and triggers but came up with an error while restoring user privileges.

I get the following error message:-

gbak: …

gbak:     restoring privilege for user SYSDBA

gbak: ERROR:action cancelled by trigger (3) to preserver data integrity

gbak: ERROR:   table/procedure has non-SQL security class defined

gbak:Exiting before completion due to errors

Is this expected doing what I am doing or do I need to run a different command line switch set to accomplish it.

The GBAK restore command line is currently GBAK –R –P 8192 –v –user username –password password backup.gbk database.fdb

Cheers,
