Restoring the ODS

From InterBase


InterBase automatically restores the database to the latest on-disk structure (ODS). If the database uses an earlier ODS, errors may occur. To avoid this, keep your databases updated by using the latest version of the ODS.

To upgrade existing databases to a new ODS, perform the following steps:

1. Before installing a new version of InterBase, back up databases using the old version.
2. Install the InterBase server.
3. Once the new server is installed, restore the databases.

For more information about migrating to a later version of InterBase, see Migrating to InterBase.
