Subject WG: [firebird-support] Firebird 3 encryption in the background
Author Ralf Jansen

Thanks Vlad,

i wasn’t aware of the „linger“-feature. Shouldn’t be a factor here. I did not enabled that feature and I’m under the impression that Embedded != Superserver.

 

I have a multitude of problems with the encryption in embedded fb. This is just one of it. When I have enough understanding about it and have the feeling that this is a bug and not just a misunderstood feature I will report it in the bug tracker.

If you are sure there is no database linger set and there is really no user conections - report a bug in tracker, please.

Of course - no. But you may use the fact that background encryption thread pause itself while database
physical state is not "normal". I.e. when database file is locked for physical backup.
