Version 1.11 of FBCopy tool is released

Version 1.11 of FBCopy tool is released. Grab it while it's hot. :)

With FBCopy, you can easily copy data between Firebird tables and
databases. FBCopy is a command-line tool, so you can use it
inside batch scripts, cron jobs, etc. You can also use the HTML output
option to get a clear overview of database differences.

There are a lot of nice GUI tools that do it, but they all require
thay you have fast access to database. If you have databases on remote
server, which are too big to copy them to your computer, pump the
data, and copy back, FBCopy is the choice.

Also, if you need to pump data on Linux or FreeBSD, this is (AFAIK) the
only native program that does it.


New features:

- Automatic detection of database's charset
- Option to keep going even if some data could not be copied
- Option to disable triggers during copying


Bugfixes and enhancements:

- Computed fields aren't copied anymore
- Detect when tables depend on each other via CHECK constraints
- Fixed dependency sorting (code contributed by Thiago Borges)
- Dependencies via check constraints are taken in consideration

The tool is open sourced, download and use is free.
