Make data backup only

Open rpijnacker opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

To migrate to use firebird in rust it is needed to have utf8 compatible character set.

As we have very old datbase definition with character set NONE definied it is now impossible to make a simple backup and restore inside a new fresh database

It is somehow impossible to make an dataonly backup and restore inside a other empty database with only schema defined

Using al kind of other tools are or slower or complicate data transfers with foreign keys etc / disabling triggers etc etc

You are basically asking for what a data-pump does. There are many such tools out there. Take a look at IBPhoenix FBOpt, it can (beside other things) do exactly what you want with -DATA_ONLY switch.
