[firebird-support] How To Track Deadlocks
Hi. I have a environment with 150 connections over my database. My application needs to use "Wait On Locks". A recent change in my application (client / server architeture) starts to get in some deadlocks. I found this article https://ib-aid.com/en/how-to-track-deadlocks-in-firebird/ but the massive use of the database turns impossible to motitor the FBTRACE output. So, there is some way to track this deadlocks using the MON$ tables using a query?

I think this isn't only my "pain". I good solution here will be a configuration for legacy systems, like Authentication legacy.

Re: [firebird-support] How to "remap" the count datatype from BIGINT to INTEGER in firebird 3
The problem of use CAST, is the result of the same work to convert the TIntegerFields, so as so is to much work! I cannot use SET BIND? This command really exists?

[firebird-support] How to "remap" the count datatype from BIGINT to INTEGER in firebird 3
Is possible to use the SET BIND feature (https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/blob/master/doc/sql.extensions/README.set_bind.md) from Firebird 3 to remap the datatype of a count statement from BIGINT to INTEGER? If yes, can you provide details and example how to do this? Ps.: I have a very big old-application written in Delphi 7, with a lot of TSQLQuery with hardcoded count queries mapped to TIntegerField. So is impossible to do a migration right now. I need other options

Re: [firebird-support] How to set the locale of firebird process in linux
Dimitry, hi again. I tried to set the locale on a Firebird super server installation. I edited the /etc/init.d/firebird service script, and a added this to it: export LANG="pt_BR.utf8" Then I reload and restart the service with: systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart firebird After this, I got the correct locale in the firebird server process, I query this using: xargs -r0a "/proc/$PID/environ" sh -c 'exec env -i -- "$@" locale' sh >>> change the $PID with the PID number of the fbserver So, after all, I tried to query my UDF function with this: select format_float(12343.2399, ',0.00') from rdb$database This "format_float" udf is a lazarus udf that calls the "formatFloat" that uses the default LC_NUMERIC variables. So I expected the result: 12.343,24 But I continue to get: 12,343.24 The thousand separator in PT_BR is "," not "." (dot). The same UDF, installed on a linux PT_BR works, as so on Windows PT_BR compiled version. Any idea whats happening?

[firebird-support] How check if database iscorrupted: backup/restore or validation
I'm developing a new updater for my application that uses a Firebird database. My old version was using the gbak tool for backup and restore the database (in a secondary FDB). If the backup and restore was finishing with success, I acsume that the database integrity is OK. The problem is that this approch consumes a lot of time in large databases. So my question here is: Can I run a database validation (gfix -validate -no_update) and acsume that the database integrity is OK when this command finishes without errors ? In this case I'll only perform a backup for rollback the update in cases of errors.

will return a statement that, when run, will return almost the result you want
('almost' being that it returns 0 and not NULL for columns not existing and
that you may have to do some modifications if there may exist named rows in
MACCOUNTS that doesn't exist in SSALEINVOICEFOOTER and hence, shouldn't be a
column).
I still think this is far more complicated than doing such conversions using
PivotTables in Excel or similar.

Re: [firebird-support] RE: group by and sub-selects
Kelly, As the counts shows - and I previewed this - you still have to do some bindings more to the count subquery. Can be of help if you send the structure of the tables involved in this query, to see how the tables are linked between them. Still better can be if you send a MS Access db having the same structure and a little amount of data. Then, one can play with the data and have more conditions to find the solution you need. If possible. The way I think the solution, one will not only scroll trough the data, but also contract the tuples of no interest, and expand those where one think to better analyse. Having data as I told, it´s possible to do that. And all the solution build using MS Access (you can bind your FB db to MS Access db and run such solution, without having to export data). And you don´t need extra tables. Some views may help to divide the problem for better understanding. Regards, Roberto Camargo.

Re: [firebird-support] RE: group by and sub-selects
Kelly, I forgot something. If agree to send the data, make use of IBPhoenix ODBC driver to connect Firebird to MS Access to export your data (and the tables model). After having exported the envolved tables, inside MS Access db, connect them to each other as they are in your db (I hope your db has referencial integrity). Then, the data will be very usefull to make this analisys. Roberto Camargo.

Re: [firebird-support] linker error in VS 2005
sgcoutts,
Maybe you have biblios compiled not with Win7, and this may be causing your
problem. The solution could be to get the code for these bibliotecs and compile
them at your machine.
You seem to be programming with C. If yes, I think you could try C# - also from
VS - with ODBC connection. And may be you would have an easyer way to get your
solution. From my point of view, C# is more user friendly - I know some C
programmers don´t like C#.
If I am wrong, excuse me.
Friendly,
Roberto Camargo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more info please ask

Re: [firebird-support] Comparing databases using scripts generated from isql -extract?
Compare to Firebird databases via system tables (rdb$) is basically a bunch of WHILEs and FORs. For compare scripts on Debian Linux, use DIFF: apt-get install diffutils diffutils-doc Study the programs: diff, diff3, sdiff and cmp.

This seems to be the most convenient way (i.e. comparing scripts) and must be a common need. The ones that I've come across seem to want you to be connected to one or more of the databases.
