firebird

I have database of firebird of more than 8 GB and I want to migrate all the data from it. But I have forgotten the username and password. Is there anyway or any tool through which I can crack this database and can get my data back? In most Firebird setups, the username and password is kept in a central security database (security3.fdb in the case of Firebird 3). If you don't know the username and password of a user anymore, you have the following options. Be aware, this answer uses Firebird 3 as its base, but most options also apply to Firebird 2.5 and earlier. Instead of security3.fdb , use

I am extending the data layer of an existing application to work with Firebird 2.5, in addition to MSSQL and SQLite, but I have hit a stumbling block. I have a field called TimeStamp which stores the data/time as type TimeStamp. This works fine under MSSQL and SQLite where the type is datetime, but falls over under Firebird. The following SQL: SELECT SysTrnId,'TimeStamp' from "TRANSACTIONS" seemingly works, but the TimeStamp field is return as fieldname "CONSTANT" and the contents are the text "timestamp" Is it possible to do this under Firebird, or am I going to have to rename the field and

We are using firebird as our database. How do we go about storing currency symbols in the database. Which character set should we use or what is generally best practice? For example storing "$" or "¥" appears straight forward but more complex symbols do not appear correctly in the database table, i.e. "₡" will not store in the database. What is generally accepted as "best practice" for this kind of thing. EDIT- Let me specify that the language we are using is C#. I suspected that UTF8 would be the answer, but how do we go about storing the character in the database, do we use the Unicode, Hex

I have got a lengthy question to ask. First of all Im still very new when it comes to Delphi programming and my experience has beem mostly developing small single user database applications using ADO and an Access database. I need to take the transition now to a client server application and this is where the problem starts. I decided to use Firebird 2.5 embeded as my database, as it is open source, and it is can be used with the interbase components in Delphi and that multiple clients can access the database simultanously. So I followed the interbase tutorial in Delphi. I managed to connect

I'm using Firebird Embedded v2.5. How to use procedures in query (SELECT) ? My procedure: SET TERM ^ ; CREATE PROCEDURE FN_TEST( Y INTEGER ) RETURNS( X INTEGER) AS BEGIN X = Y + 1; END^ SET TERM ; ^ I want to list some field of table modified by some procedure, like this: SELECT some_table_field_1, fn_test( 4 ) AS zzz, some_table_field_2, fn_test( some_table_field_2 ) AS field_2_modified FROM tb_test Need results (table): some_table_field_1 zzz some_table_field_2 field_2_modified --------------------------------------------------------------------------- aaa 5 14 15 bbb 5 23 24 www 5 75 76

I have a file with an extension .ib . I am guessing it is either an Interbase or a Firebird file, but I am having trouble working out exactly which. Furthermore, it isn't clear exactly which version of Interbase (or Firebird) was used to create the file. What I have found so far: I have tried various different software to read this file (FlameRobin, Firebird's isql.exe and also the latest version of Interbase) and the error messages I get tell me the ODS ("On Disk Structure") is version 9. Which is quite old, and dates to around the time that Firebird was forked from Interbase. I have managed
