Article #25431: ODS Downgrade

Problem:
Is it possible to downgrade from ODS 9.0 to ODS 8.0?

Solution:
To downgrade from ODS 9.0  to ODS 8.0 is not an InterBase certified
procedure.

However, we had success with the following steps:
   * Rename the InterBase 4.0 gbak.exe
   * Copy the 5.0 gbak.exe to the 4.0 machine
   * Gbak the 5.0 database in transportable format on the 5.0 machine
   * Copy the 5.0 database backup file to the 4.0 machine
   * Restore the Gbak 5.0 backup file on the 4.0 machine
