Sorry, I don't know. I just wanted to point out that there are different
ways to interpret a date string and that you should make sure that your
date string is actually interpreted the way you intend. How you choose
to do this is up to you: try it out in your DB (recommended), read docs,

select cast ('30.6.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database
Better just use timestamp '2011-06-30 08:35:26' or cast('2011-06-30
08:35:26' as timestamp), which should always work independent of the locale

Sorry, I don't know. I just wanted to point out that there are different
ways to interpret a date string and that you should make sure that your
date string is actually interpreted the way you intend. How you choose
to do this is up to you: try it out in your DB (recommended), read docs,
ask here, ...
You could for example try this:
select cast ('6.11.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database
select cast ('6.30.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database
select cast ('30.6.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database

Make sure your string literal is interpreted the way you think. If only
people would come to their senses and adopt the ISO 8601 standard. *sigh*
For example, does '6.11.2011 08:35:26' result in Nov 6 or June 11?

Better just use timestamp '2011-06-30 08:35:26' or cast('2011-06-30
08:35:26' as timestamp), which should always work independent of the locale
of the server.

Also, '30-Jun-2011 08:35:26' is explicit and unambiguous.

Now when we changed the application to commit at the end or hundred inserts then output was almost same on both the machines. Any thoughts on this? If you do the same test, but with READING instead of writing does it also behave the same way? It might be your network card rather than your OS. AFAIK for every transaction started, it need to renegotiate the network speed, so if you have a network consisting of a mix of 100 base and 1000 base (Gigabit) cards then the network controller is constantly having to decide at what speed to run for each new transaction. Try setting all PC's on the network to run at 100 base, and see if it improves the speed. Also, check you have the correct cabling, and hubs for the network speed you are running. In addition, some cards have a throttling setting that deliberately slow down the network if to many packets are thrown at it. (supposed to be a security thing I think) We've only really come across that once or twice though. Lately though, I've just started analysing all my code where I have to fire off a whole lot of read queries in a row, and am now making sure I start one single shared read-only transaction before starting my load routine, and it's made a good difference even on PC's that didn't seem to be experiencing this problem. If reading is fine, and it's only writing that's slow, then I'd guess the problem is elsewhere though.. maybe that's when it's writing to disk. Just my 2c, hope it helps. I must say though, that when we get reports of speed issues, Windows 2008 usually is usually mentioned a lot, so I'm also watching this thread with interest ;-) Maya -- On Mar 07, 2014 @ 03:29 pm, sparas...@lutron.com wrote: --- In firebird-support@yahoogroups.com, Leyne, Sean Sean@... wrote: If it is HP, then you will probably have to enable HDD caching on RAID driver ... even if you do not use RAID there is this option in HDD driver.

Sorry, I don't know. I just wanted to point out that there are different
ways to interpret a date string and that you should make sure that your
date string is actually interpreted the way you intend. How you choose
to do this is up to you: try it out in your DB (recommended), read docs,
ask here, ...
You could for example try this:
select cast ('6.11.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database
select cast ('6.30.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database
select cast ('30.6.2011 08:35:26' as timestamp) from rdb$database

Make sure your string literal is interpreted the way you think. If only
people would come to their senses and adopt the ISO 8601 standard. *sigh*
For example, does '6.11.2011 08:35:26' result in Nov 6 or June 11?

First of all I have to say (looking at this version) that gentoo currently does not support firebird packaging :-( You are _highly_recommended to use latest subrelease from SF. Now, I have built a new Gentoo system from scratch, of course with kernel 3.0.6 (different hardware, slightly different Linux .config). First, Firebird runs just normal, but when calling some special functions (for example, user rights management from IBExpert), it crashes because of a buffer overflow. I even do not remember - may be there was really BOF in that 2.0.3 dinosaurus:) And I do not know what method of user management is used in proprietary software like IBExpert. Can you try to reproduce using flamerobin if you prefer GUI tools? syslog says: Nov 13 18:43:41 n *** buffer overflow detected ***: fbserver - terminated Nov 13 18:43:41 n fbserver: buffer overflow attack in function unknown - terminated Nov 13 18:43:41 n Report to http://bugs.gentoo.org/ I did report to bugs.gentoo.org - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390429 - but I'm not quite sure if this is a Gentoo or a Firebird issue. In addition, on the new system, in firebird.log, there are two messages at server start which I have never seen on the old system: n (Server) Sun Nov 13 18:43:41 2011 64 bit i/o support is on. Yes, 64 bit mode was something new 6 years ago. I do not remember details of this message .. n (Server) Sun Nov 13 18:43:41 2011 Open file limit increased from 1024 to 4096 .. and this too. But IMHO nothing bad happened. Perhaps this is a result of the slightly different Linux .config? There must be some more differences because starting FB (with /etc/init.d/ firebird start) on the old server says: * Starting Firebird server ... * WARNING: -o/--oknodo is deprecated and will be removed in the future * WARNING: -c/--chuid is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -u/--user instead * WARNING: -a/--startas is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -x/--exec or -n/--name instead server has been successfully started [ ok ] and on the new server * Starting Firebird server ... * WARNING: -o/--oknodo is deprecated and will be removed in the future * WARNING: -c/--chuid is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -u/--user instead * WARNING: -a/--startas is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -x/--exec or -n/--name instead check /var/log/firebird/firebird.log file for errors can not start server [ ok ] but the server is started anyway (sometimes the start scripts even hangs); in firebird.log, there is n (Client) Sun Nov 13 19:15:39 2011 INET/inet_error: connect errno = 111 (but only if the server is not listening on localhost; as it seems) While it's just uncomfortable not using IBExpert's rights management (GRANT etc. with fbsql *does* work), I'm afraid to put that FB installation into a production environment - what if those buffer overflows would also happen just in normal operation? This would be _real_bad_ ... Any hints? Try with 2.5.1. Or if you prefer 2.0 - 2.0.6.

[Ticket #390] [firebird-support] Buffer Overflow on Gentoo Linux Kernel 3.0.6
This is a notification from the Help Desk. On Mar 07, 2014 @ 03:32 pm, m...@hanft.de wrote: Hi, since many years, I've been using Firebird with Gentoo Linux kernels up to 2.6.38 without any problems - currently FB 2.0.3.12981.0-r6 (the newest stable version which is available as a Gentoo package). Now, I have built a new Gentoo system from scratch, of course with kernel 3.0.6 (different hardware, slightly different Linux .config). First, Firebird runs just normal, but when calling some special functions (for example, user rights management from IBExpert), it crashes because of a buffer overflow. syslog says: Nov 13 18:43:41 n *** buffer overflow detected ***: fbserver - terminated Nov 13 18:43:41 n fbserver: buffer overflow attack in function unknown - terminated Nov 13 18:43:41 n Report to http://bugs.gentoo.org/ I did report to bugs.gentoo.org - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390429 - but I'm not quite sure if this is a Gentoo or a Firebird issue. In addition, on the new system, in firebird.log, there are two messages at server start which I have never seen on the old system: n (Server) Sun Nov 13 18:43:41 2011 64 bit i/o support is on. n (Server) Sun Nov 13 18:43:41 2011 Open file limit increased from 1024 to 4096 Perhaps this is a result of the slightly different Linux .config? There must be some more differences because starting FB (with /etc/init.d/ firebird start) on the old server says: * Starting Firebird server ... * WARNING: -o/--oknodo is deprecated and will be removed in the future * WARNING: -c/--chuid is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -u/--user instead * WARNING: -a/--startas is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -x/--exec or -n/--name instead server has been successfully started [ ok ] and on the new server * Starting Firebird server ... * WARNING: -o/--oknodo is deprecated and will be removed in the future * WARNING: -c/--chuid is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -u/--user instead * WARNING: -a/--startas is deprecated and will be removed in the future, please use -x/--exec or -n/--name instead check /var/log/firebird/firebird.log file for errors can not start server [ ok ] but the server is started anyway (sometimes the start scripts even hangs); in firebird.log, there is n (Client) Sun Nov 13 19:15:39 2011 INET/inet_error: connect errno = 111 (but only if the server is not listening on localhost; as it seems) While it's just uncomfortable not using IBExpert's rights management (GRANT etc. with fbsql *does* work), I'm afraid to put that FB installation into a production environment - what if those buffer overflows would also happen just in normal operation? This would be _real_bad_ ... Any hints? Thank you, -Matt ++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Resources item on the main (top) menu. Try Knowledgebase and FAQ links !

[firebird-support] Backup
I am trying to make a backup of our database that is on a Unix box, from my windows computer. I have used: Firebird Maestro, IP Firebird Database Manager, Firebird SQL Studio. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or just not possible. When I run the backup from these tools, and select the database and final location and press start, it looks like it is going thru a backup process, but the fbk file is not created on my computer. I am new to firebird and the GUI Tools that may be available. Any assistance is appreciated. Art

[firebird-support] Firebird - Any way to query between databases
I have a growing number of databases with essentially the same table structures that must remain as separate entities. However, a large number of the tables in these databases house exactly the same valid values (Lookup Tables). If I add a new valid value, I migrate through each database to update the tables as needed. I would love to have a single valid value database that only held these tables and have all my other databases query the valid value database for the information. As I understand it, this is not possible at this point in time. Are there any plans that will permit this in future versions of Firebird?
Re: [firebird-support] Backup
Thank you, I used the gbak to run the backup and that worked.

[firebird-support] Changing Classic server LockHashSlots setting
Hey guys! I want to ask this question (even though I know the answer) in case someone else might want to know in the future. Can/should the Firebird.conf LockHashSlots value be changed while databases are open/engine is running? I think the answer is No but I want to ask this question in case someone else might want to know in the future (ie. Want to google it). Sean
RE: [firebird-support] Windows firewall and multi-user access.
We have an application using Delphi, IBObjects and Firebird, which is being run in both a single-user and multi-user basis. The multi-user version has users on separate PCs operating against a single Firebird DB on a server. Lately, after releasing an updated version (in which the Firebird server is changed from V2.1 to v2.5), some users have noticed that on one form, if two users are using the form on two PCs, one user's changes can cause the other user's cursor (the selected item) to change. That is impossible. Firebird cursors tied to statements, statements are tied to a database connection, each application would open separate connection(s). Now here's the zinger. One of the users had been running Windows Firewall in public mode. When he changed to work mode, the problem went away. Does this seem counter-intuitive? Is there a Windows issue underlying, or with Firebird 2.5? Again, makes no sense. Sean

If he is using events, it could be causing the program to respond to the event by reloading the listing or something which wouldn't happen if the firewall is blocking the port. (I think, anyway.) I agree with that. The way the auxiliary port for events (RemoteAuxPort in firebird.conf) is configured will matter here. If you don't configure it explicitly, events will just use the first available open port. If no port is available, events just don't happen. Same if you don't open the configured port in the firewall. And if the user's transaction is running in ReadCommitted, any refresh of the dataset will reflect changes committed since the last open or refresh, even if events are not involved. I think another crucial issue here might be developer amnesia about an IBO feature called DML Caching, that can keep individual connections informed of changes by other connections, in ways that are transparent to the human user. If you can find DMLCache or anything related to it in your source code, you'll be able to trace what has been set up to happen at each client. Further questions on the application side should go the IBO list, not here.
