B.6.1. Known issues with Firebird

  • The Firebird JDBC driver does not have proper support for batch updates, so batch updates are disabled.

  • Firebird does not support auto-increment columns.

  • Firebird does not support the LOWER, SUBSTRING, or INSTR SQL functions, which means that toLowerCase(), indexOf(), and substring() methods in JDOQL cannot be used.
