[Firebird-test] RC7 Alias/gstat issue

[Eric T. <eri...@co...>]

I fear I have found a little bug:

Tests were with RC7 Windows super server.

If I try to use an alias as the database name in gstat or when calling =
for
statistics through the services API, it tells me that the file is not =
found.


If I set the conf option "DatabaseAccess =3D None" then, of course, if I =
use
the full database path I am told that the administrator has restricted =
the
rights.

This means that "DatabaseAccess =3D None" option makes it difficult to =
use
gstat or the related service functions.

There is a work-around by declaring an alias with the same name as the
database path and using it for any access to statistics. In aliases.conf =
I
add two lines for each database:

MyAlias =3D D:\Data\MyDB.fdb
D:\Data\MyDB.fdb =3D D:\Data\MyDB.fdb

This fixes both gstat and the service API access.

Even if this is confirmed as a bug, my vote would be for releasing the
current code and just noting this as a known issue rather than delaying =
for
another RC.=20
