[Firebird-devel] Creating DB through dsql_execute_immediate : RC2 possible problem

[Olivier M. <om...@ma...>]

Dear,

Before reporting a bug, I prefer to ask advice here.
I have an issue where existing code using dsql_execute_immediate to
create a new DB ("CREATE DATABASE ...") fails with FB RC2, while it
worked for years with IB5, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 and all beta of FB up and
including RC1.

This is on Win32 (I have no Linux to test it).

I will post details of the code if you require it, but this sounds
enough suspicious to justify some code checkup of what changed between
RC1 and RC2 that may impact DB creation through the API.

I have a side-question too.
There is a : isc_create_database () call declared in the ibase.h
But that one was not described in any manuals since 5.x.
I remember people from InterBase/Borland told me at the time the right
way to create a DB by API was to go through the dsql_execute_immediate
fashion and not try to use the undocumented isc_create_database().

What is your advice, today, about this.

Thanks,
