How to run "gfix -icu" bay API calls.

[Elmar Haneke]

Hello,

I do need some hint and sample how to initiate the "gfix -icu" by API calls.

Execute a repair (isc_action_svc_repair) service operation with
isc_spb_rpr_icu.

For an example, see
https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/jaybird/blob/master/src/main/org/firebirdsql/management/FBMaintenanceManager.java
(method fixIcu()).

Do exactly what gfix does: add isc_dpb_reset_icu clumplet to DPB on connect.

That is not the "proper" way to handle it IMHO. The service operation is
the way to go.

The service internally call gfix which perform attach using this DPB item, so
both methods should do the same in the end.

Yes, but one is the user API, and the other is basically an internal
kludge that users IMHO shouldn't use directly.

isc_attach_database() and DPB items are exactly the same, no matter what
application use them. There is no "internal API" here.
