Known bugs
- Interbase Express limbo transaction management don't works, incorrect buffer
error is displayed in version IBX Update 4.2, it's a IBX or Interbase bug.
The workaround is select option Use command line tool to repair the transaction
in limbo. There is also a bug on gfix command line tool that actually allways
prompt the action for every transaction in limbo.
- Altering a domain type, when conversions from numeric to char fields the
character set and collation orders of the domain are not assigned correctly.
This is an Interbase bug, ALTER DOMAIN ADOMAIN TYPE .. only accepts CHARACTER
SET option (if COLLATE is specified a error ocur), but character set is also
ignored.
- The modify domain has limitations, some error messages are shown when not
succefull, this is not a bug it's a feature of Interbase.
- Table data edition, you can not edit a view with GROUP BY or other that
don't generate a valid db key record mark, this is a limitation of IBExpress,
TIBTable component says invalid db key, the workaround is open read only with
select Preferences-Readonly
- The MDI Child Window system window menu can disapear in old Windows 9x versions.
You can try to install I.E.5 or update your s.o. to fix this.
- Modifying a field type from an existing table has many limitations, collation
keywork not allowed, truncation of data not allowed, char to number not allowed...,
this is a Interbase feature.
