Firebird SQL’s backup/restore uses magic words for stdin and stdout – Check the gbak manual update

Leave a comment

After An interesting read.

Norman Dunbar updated the gbak manual with the following:

A section on the use of stdin and stdout “file names” and how to clone
a database – on the same server – using a pipe and these “file names” to
avoid the use of a temporary intermediate dump file.

A section on carrying out remote backups and restores using the above
as well as an ssh session. This allows a remote database to be cloned to
a local server, a local database to be cloned to a remote server and a
remote database to be cloned to (another) remote server.

Further updates to document the use of the stdin and stdout file names in backups and restores. A section has been added to Gbak Caveats giving more in depth detail about these two special file names.

Firebird github mirror is back

Adriano dos Santos Fernandes wrote on firebird-devel about the github mirror for svn (it wasn’t updated sice December)

I have manually pushed (*) the changes and I believe it will push
automatically since now.

* Due to the fact that sourceforge accepted some commits on the older
SVN repository, and that commits were already pushed to GIT, I had to
force push now, so the latests commits have changed. Not a good thing,
but no better way to do it. I hope it still works. 🙂

Old svn repo is closed after the SF migration , Use the new one

Please use ‘svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/firebird/code/firebird/trunk’ to get fresh source code

Or use the git mirror

git clone git://github.com/asfernandes/firebird.git
