Overwrite

Go Up to Restoring a database using IBConsole

Option values are True and False.

IBConsole cannot overwrite an existing database file unless the Overwrite option value is set to True. If you attempt to restore to an existing database name and this option is set to False, the restore does not proceed.

To restore a database over an existing database, you must be the owner of the existing database or SYSDBA.

Important: Do not replace an existing database while clients are operating on it. When restoring to an existing file name, a safer approach is to rename the existing database file, restore the database, then drop or archive the old database as needed.

This function corresponds to the -replace option of gbak.
