This document summarizes the migration of a 75GB Firebird database from version 1.5 to 2.5 for a pharmaceutical distributor in Russia. Key steps included preparing metadata, testing data conversion, checking and updating SQL queries in applications, and optimizing query plans and performance. Over 55,000 SQL queries were analyzed, with around 750 requiring changes. The migration was completed in less than 4 months. Tools like FBScanner were used to log and analyze queries between versions. The end result was improved performance, backup/restore times, and better hardware utilization in Firebird 2.5.
