Subject Re: [IBO] update a database with structure / triggers / ect..
Author Dany M
AFAIK IBO does not have an automated routine for this. There is,
however, Script handling in IBO. Scripts are a series of SQL statements.
There are tools out there that will take one database, compare all the
metadata to a second one and produce a script that will update the
second one to match the first. The tool you select should be smart
enough to issue statement in the correct order regarding forreign keys
and dependencies and to issue COMMITS and DISCONNECT/CONNECT to make
everything work even with advanced and convoluted updates. The tool
should also take in account the version of FB/IB you are using.
Personally I use IBExperts build in function.

HTH,
