material for the Firebird Interactive SQL Utility (isql), and instructions on how to use it to perform tasks within the database.  This manual is a work in progress. It is subject to change and possible the command line; and as a non-interactive session, using a shell script or batch file. Different tasks may be performed in each of the modes, as illustrated below: • An interactive session can be invoked interactive session. Reading an input file and writing to an output file are not considered interactive tasks, therefore the -input or -output command line options do not initiate an interactive session. Options

firebird. This limits the damage in case of malfunctioning (by hack or otherwise). No Services Manager. Tasks like backup/ restore, user management, stats etc. have to be performed locally using the client tools you to perform certain tasks (backup/restore, user management, stats, etc.) programmatically. You can connect to the Services Manager over the network and thus perform these tasks remotely. SMP (symmetrical Manager) program and the official .tar.gz for other Posix platforms perform some essential setup tasks. Provided you follow the instructions correctly, there should be nothing for you to do upon completion

install.sh script in the official .tar.gz for various Posix platforms all perform some essential setup tasks. Provided you follow the installation instructions correctly, there should be nothing for you to do present in every Firebird server installation. In the next sections you will use gsec to execute two tasks: changing the SYSDBA password and adding a Firebird user. First though, some points of attention:

relational model. Supporting arrays in the DBMS could make it easier to solve some data-processing tasks involving large sets of similar data. Arrays in Firebird are stored in BLOB of a specialized type LANGUAGES = 'NULL'; I = I +1; SUSPEND; END END If the features described are enough for your tasks, you might consider using arrays in your projects. Currently, no improvements are planned to enhance nor to step the next value by more than 1. GEN_ID (…, ) is still needed for these tasks. A step value of 0 returns the current sequence value. See also SEQUENCE (GENERATOR), GEN_ID()
