1. The resulting script.sql uses absolute pathnames for data files
This one drives me crazy, though a perl -pi -e can fix it pretty easily.
2. If anything relevant already exists in the db the script will fail
Both can be worked around, but it makes the process more tedious
then just reverting to a backup. I will keep the points you make in
mind though.
.. and also I THINK that the ascii dump is not transaction-safe like
"write backup" is. I've never understood why FB doesn't either write
an architecture independent backup format or at the very least support
reading in both architectures in the event that writing architecture
independent is too expensive. I would LOVE to just have a mysql-style
SQL script dump format (that is transaction safe). I'm sure they have
good reasons why they didn't but it would be really nice.
