Subject Re: Interbase 5.6 to Firebird 1.5.4 migration
Author amoradell
Hello,

- Stay with dialect 1 (ib 5.6 only choice), otherwise, its better to
create a sql script in dialect3 and use a datapump app (like ibpump)
between the two databases.
- TYPE keyword is reserved in Firebird, so if you have a field named
TYPE, rename it before conversion. Maybe others.
- Change double quotes to simple because Firebird use them with table
names, fields, etc...
- UDF have to be moved to UDF directory, not BIN directory (as in IB
5.6)
- External files : beware of location because Firebird restrict
access (see firebird.conf)


Regards

Alexandre
