RE: [Firebird-test] drop_gds side effect

Mark;

Sure,

In tcs/gds_drop/drop.c

First:

    /* extract the version into global variables */
    version = 0;
    isc_version(&db_handle, get_version, 0);


Then:

    /* if the version is 4.0 then try isc_drop_database */
    if (version >= 40)
      {

Hi Pat

Could you give me a clue (like a file and function name ;-).

I've greped for gds_drop and had a brief look but there is nothing
specific that I can try down to what your saying here.  But what you are
saying here sounds like you are looking at a specific line of code.

Im interested, because if I have missed this comparison, there may be
others.

At the time I checked fairly extensively for usage of IB_MAJOR_VER,
IB_MINOR_VER and GDS_VERSION.

Cheers

Mark
