Although its functions can also be performed by a number of third-party GUI utilities, you should at least have a basic knowledge of gsec, since this is the official tool and it's needed. You can do this with gsec as shown above, or with any third-party Firebird administration tool.

the presence and the backing up of the NULL entries, but it will also restore them. Firebird’s gbak tool does restore CHECK constraints, but doesn’t apply them to the existing data in the backup.  Even it may be that a third-party tool has made the column NOT NULL by setting a flag in a system table. In that case it’s probably best to remove it again with the same tool. If that is not an option, check entries in that column will be NULL upon creation. Most clients however — including Firebird’s isql tool — will falsely report them as zeroes (0 for numerical fields, '' for string fields, etc.) • If you

between multiple databases, changing the number of page buffers and so on. Gfix is a general purpose tool for system administrators (and database owners) to use to make various 'system level' changes to databases.conf since Firebird 3.0), but it also can be set directly in the database header using gfix tool (and this setting will override firebird.conf and databases.conf, so be careful). The command to it is possible to clear out old rolled back transactions' garbage with a database backup by gbak tool. Gbak reads every table sequentially and thus visits every row in every table. Applications which

as the dump file name. This is not really of much use, unless you wish to pipe the dump through a tool to modify it in some way. You can pipe the output directly to a gbak restore operation to clone a server where Firebird is running and the firebird user has its environment set up so that the gbak tool is on $PATH by default, on login.  In each of the following examples, the -user sysdba and -password explicitly find out the correct location of the database file(s) and supply these to the external tool. To make this simpler for script writers, my own installation uses a standard in my aliases.conf
