are there any hard and fast rules about converting from interbase 7 to
firebird? we have found this on one of our machines a recent
contractor had used (its always when i go on holiday.....) ideally we
would like to get it onto our as400 in long term, but in the short
term, ..

is it a matter of turning off interbase 7 and just enabling the
firebird service? (this is on win2k server).

is there anything that might not be supported in firebird that is part
of interbase 7? are they feature compatible?

i'm a bit skeptical at just turning a service off and starting
another. there is always hidden gotchas...
