Version 3.0 to version 2.5

[Learn Softwares]

I have version 3.0 installed on my computer including the database created. I will now need to install version 2.5 but it is not recognizing my database that I created in Firebird 3.0. How can I make it fit? Note: I need to keep all my database structure (tables).

Firebird databases are not compatible between different versions. There is no
way to make Firebird 2.5 to open databases from Firebird 3.

There is no way reading FDB from v3 in v2.5.

You can backup Database from FB3 server using gbak util from FB2.5.

There is a chance that you can restore that to FB2.5.

If there is some Error you might have to modify FB3 database before
backup (eliminate usage of new features).
