This section lists features and modifications that might affect the way you have installed and used Firebird in earlier releases.

Migrating the security database from Firebird 4.0 to 5.0

To migrate the security database from Firebird 4.0 to 5.0, backup security4.fdb with gbak of Firebird 4.0 and restore it as security5.fdb with gbak of Firebird 5.0.Use gbak locally (using an embedded connection) while Firebird Server is not running.

Note

Copying security4.fdb and renaming it to security5.fdb and upgrading the ODS with gfix option -UPGRADE will work as well, but we recommend backing up and restoring.
