Thanks for the advise Thomas I will increase the value. After we changed TempCacheLimit to 567108864, we saw the problem once under heavy load - for a very sourt perio this time. Is it correct understood that once TempCacheLimit was reached Firebird used /tmp/ until the proccess reached the max open files?
Regarding TempBlockSize and TempCacheLimit do you or any other know of a way to monitor if the configured value is too low or the limit is about to be reached? Since the server has plenty of RAM i was thinking about configuring TempCacheLimit to 2, 4 or 6 Gb, if this has no negative effect? Likewise if there is no negative effect, is there anything to gain from increasing TempBlockSize from 2 megabytes to perhaps 4 or 6? Best regards
