I'm developing a new updater for my application that uses a Firebird database.

My old version was using the gbak tool for backup and restore the
database (in a secondary FDB). If the backup and restore was finishing
with success, I acsume that the database integrity is OK.

The problem is that this approch consumes a lot of time in large databases.

So my question here is:

Can I run a database validation (gfix -validate -no_update) and acsume
that the database integrity is OK when this command finishes without
errors ?

In this case I'll only perform a backup for rollback the update in
cases of errors.
