1 This example application is provided to demonstrate the use of IBX for a range of Server Management tasks. These are:
2
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.

11 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.

13 The example is discussed in detail in section 3 of the User Guide "Firebird Server Management using IBX" in the ibx/docs directory.
