Re: [Firebird-docs] Format documentation

Hello Paul,

Yes, that's what I mean. Didn't find anything either in the sources, the
docs, FirebirdSQL.org, IBPhoenix.com or various other sites in the ring, but
maybe I didn't know how to look.

I also looked for a ODS specification, just to see if I was searching
properly, but didn't find anything either, so maybe I didn't search where I
should have: it seems strange that neither format has been specified.

Hi Frederic,

[ transportable backup format ]

I can't find it either. Of course there must exist documents, but
they're probably at Borland. You might try their knowledgebase(s) but
maybe they didn't publish them.

If you don't find it there, or via a Google search, I think you should
ask in firebird-support and hope Ann Harrison has an answer. After
that, you may try *very politely* to ask your question in
firbird-devel or firebird-architect. These lists are not for support
questions but if you tried every other avenue and the information is
nowhere to be found, someone may help you there.

Failing that, all you can do is work through the source code to see
how it generates the backups.


Greetings,
Paul Vinkenoog
