This example application is provided to demonstrate the use of IBX for a range of Server Management tasks. These are: |

|
| 3 |
1. Database backup and restore. |
| 4 |
2. Viewing the Server Log |
| 5 |
3. Viewing Server Statistics |
| 6 |
4. User Management |
| 7 |
5. Database Validation |
| 8 |
6. Limbo Transaction Recovery. |
| 9 |
7. Working with Alternative Security Databases in Firebird 3. |

The purpose of the example is to demonstrate use of the IBX Services API rather than to provide a practical database administration tool. As regards database administration, using the Services API alone, has not kept pace with the way that Firebird has been developing – for example in the use of virtual tables to access system information. The Database Administration tool presented in ibx/examples/DBAdmin uses virtual database tables wherever possible and the Services API only when it has too. The result is arguably a much “slicker” tool. |

The example is discussed in detail in section 2 of the User Guide "Firebird Server Management using IBX" in the ibx/docs directory. |
