Migrating Databases to Dialect 3
From InterBase
Go Up to Migrating to InterBase
There are four major areas of concern when migrating a database from dialect 1 to dialect 3:
- Double quotes
- The
DATE
data type - Large exact numerics (for purposes of this discussion,
NUMERIC
andDECIMAL
data types that have a precision greater than 9) - Keywords
The process varies somewhat depending on whether you can create an application to move data from your original database to an empty dialect 3 database. If you do not have access to such a utility, you need to perform an in-place migration of the original database.
