and really odd fix. Not using gdb is really a much easier fix. Interbase doesn’t
care what the file is called. Just name it idb for interbase database and there
is no problem at all<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">This issue
was raised during the release of InterBase 7.0. If you have renamed your
databases to have an extension other than ".gdb" or if none of your databases
are on Windows platforms, you can ignore this
section.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Microsoft
has implemented a backup and restore utility called System Restore. This utility
automatically backs up files that have certain extensions whenever they are
touched. The old default InterBase file extension 'GDB' is on this list, which
means that databases that have names ending in ".gdb" get backed up extremely
frequently when they are in use. This is causing performance problems on Windows
ME and XP systems.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
