Hello,

Personally, I release my classes in the opposite directions to their 
creation.

AW: [firebird-support] Scalability of connection numbers of client-server solution with Firebird 3.0?

Firebird has no limit. But Windows Sockets.

Betreff: [firebird-support] Scalability of connection numbers of client-server 
solution with Firebird 3.0?


Hi!

I have set of Delphi applications that uses IBX and Zeos for connecting to 
Firebird 3.0 server. Some are direct client-server solutions (i.e. Delphi 
application uses IBX or Zeos components to open connection on the Firebird 
server) and some are 3-tier applications which have Delphi server and Delphi 
client (TClientDataSet is used for communication), but this server again uses 
IBX and Zeos.

Just wanted to know - can there be any scalability issues. Currently we have 
some 30-40 concurrent connections, but their number can grow to 80, I guess - 
no more than 100.

I remember from old days (back to ~2006, Firebird 1.0/Interbase 6.0/Firebird 
1.5 times) that the high number of DB connections (around 50 and more) could 
hurt performance very much and very little could be done. Just wanted to check 
the current situation?

Other databases have similar restrictions on the number of connections 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3733688/database-concurrent-connections-in-regard-to-web-http-requests-and-scalability
 and I wonder what is the best practice for Firebird with Delphi?

The usual architecture for my client-server Delphi application is that I have 
one TIBDatabase and/or TZConnection per Delphi application and that is why 
MON$ATTACHMENTS usually show 1-2 attachments for each user. I guees - this is 
correct and I can simply can not make more optimization here - application 
should have 1-2 connection and there can not be any more pooling-type 
optimization here, am I right?

For the 3-tier applications I have 1-2 connections for TDataModule and each 
TDataModule servers one user and those TDataModules are pooled with their 
connections preserved. Ususally I have 20-30 connections from my 3-tier 
application.

Recently we increase the number of users/connections (as I said - to 50-80) and 
I am worrying now what can happen, should I be ready for emergence of some 
concerns? Just wanted to be prepared.

And generally:
- what are the limits on the number of Firebird connections/attachments? Should 
I be concerned about those limits if we will not have more than 100-150 
Firebird connections?
- what are pooling options for Firebird or Yii PHP application? Usually I think 
that pooling is very complex issue but maybe it is not?

thx
J.L.

[firebird-support] Re: Firebird Embedded access permissions problem?

2020-02-19 Thread Norbert Saint Georges n...@tetrasys.eu [firebird-support]
Hello,

Mainly using Delphi 10.3.3 and Firebird 3 & 4 in embebded mode without 
any problem with the only difference that I do not use firedac (too 
much incomprehensible error).
Maybe a clue to your problem.
ps: I work with Firebird OO APIs
Regards,
Norbert

Re[2]: [firebird-support] Scalability of connection numbers of client-server solution with Firebird 3.0?

2020-02-19 Thread 'Marcin Bury' marcin.b...@studio-delfi.pl [firebird-support]

Hi

First let me tell that I'm not Firebird expert, I can only share my 
experience.
In one system I have desktop application based on IBObjects with 
concurrent users around 80-90 and REST service (for mobile application) 
based on ZEOS with around 10 concurrent connections. All is serverd by 
Xeon 1245 with SSD drives. Works like charm
The second one is only desktop application also based on IBObjects with 
concurrent users around 50. This is server by some shitty virtual 
machine running Windows (don't ask why :-) ) but the performance is 
acceptable.
From my point of view, if transaction processing is OK in application - 
the hardware of the server might be the source of performance 
degradation (less RAM, old HDD).
Once I did a test on the machine from first system. We have started 200 
connections each one performing non indexed queries in the loop, and 
than we started connection 201 from the application and started to work 
and performing daily user's task. Actually there no noticable difference 
between being only 1 user or one of 201.


FireDAC, in my opinion will not improve anything.

And finally I'd like to ask, what kind of benefit you get from COMMIT 
RETAINING?


My $0.02

HTH
Marcin

Temat: RE: [firebird-support] Scalability of connection numbers of 
client-server solution with Firebird 3.0?





I am trying to reply to Scalability of connection numbers of 
client-server solution with Firebird 3.0?


1. I am not receiving messages from the yahoo Firebird group (I don't 
want that they are coming in my mail, if I can always read them on the 
Web and in the the nice threaded format and with history), but I am not 
receiving answers to my questions as well - so - I don't know to how to 
respond them technically. I am not happy about mail lists really, forms 
and github issue formas are far more better way of communication.


2. I can do and I am doing proper transaction management with 
IBX/Firebird Zeos as well, no need for futher enhancements. Currentl y 
my MON$ATTACHMENTS lists some 30 connections and my MON$TRANSACTIONS 
lists some 20-25 transactions, no older than 20 minutes. I guess that 
is OK. Generally I open/close transaction for each read and save 
operation and when user inteacts with the form I am ussing COMMIT 
RETAINING options with the final COMMIT in the case when the form is 
being closed. I guess, that is right? That should be the proper balance 
that avoids long-running transactions and that also avoids recreating 
transactions for each minot save or read.


Of course, I can migrate to FireDAC, but I don't see it as silver 
bullet for any improvement if the MON$ATTACHMENTS and MON$TRANSACTIONS 
data are good with the old IBX/Zeos as well. I can not see how can I 
improve it further?


3. And I have never understood (and I still not understand) what kind 
of dat a caching can be there for the ERP/accounting/manufacturing 
management systems? Either on the client side or on the server side. 
Well - my application caches (in detached, memory only ClientDataSets) 
some short, common classifiers like list of some document types, list 
of account codes, list or warehouses or the user preferences (all of 
which is load during the startup time of the application). But anything 
beyond that can not be cached: the catalog of goods is enormous - more 
than 20.000 - how can I cache it? Catalog of customer is still larger 
(more than 100.000). The list of documents is growing and so on, so on. 
I simply don't understand what miracles the FireDAC can do there? Will 
it make some AI analytics to decide some chunks of commonly used/rarely 
mutable data? I have great doubts about the possibility of such 
analytics and reliability of it. Database can do some caching based on 
the data access patterns, but not FireDAC.


OK, I can understand caching for some web pages, web shops, newspages, 
but there is little that can be cached (automatically or manually) in 
ERP applications with OLTP and dynamic reports.


Thx, J.
