public class FBMaintenanceManager
extends FBServiceManager
implements MaintenanceManager

The FBMaintenanceManager class is responsible for replicating the functionality provided by the gfix command-line tool. Among the responsibilities of this class are:

• Database shutdown
• Extended database shutdown/online modes new with Firebird 2.5
• Changing database mode to read-only or read-write
• Enabling or disabling forced writes in the database
• Changing the dialect of the database
• Setting the cache size at database-level
• Mending databases and making minor repairs
• Sweeping databases
• Activating and killing shadow files
• Displaying, committing, or recovering limbo transactions
