What do I have to pay attention when upgrading from Firebird 1.5.6 to 2.5

I have problem with my Delphi + Firebird application that works on two Windows 7 machines. Firebird database used is 1.5.6. and is placed on server machine and the client application is on the other. From time to time application is freezeing itself for random time from 30 sec to 2 min. Maybe upgradeing to the new version it will stop making problems to me.

Few things I ran into while I was upgrading were:

  • reserved word "type" was used as a column name in a table. I had to change it to something esle in database and application code.
  • my database used my own UDF, which was compiled in a manner, that made it impossible to use with Firebid 2.5 server. I had to recompile it, and since it was written in C, and I am not experienced C programmer, that was kinda challenge.

You can first take a look at this which was a presentation during firebird conference 2011
