[firebird-support] service_mgr is not defined - calling from PHP
Hi
I am trying to write a PHP script to create a new Firebird user but when
I run the code I get the following:
Service DB - Could not connect: Cannot attach to services manager
service var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/grip.fdb:service_mgr is not defined
I am running Firebird 2.5 on Ubuntu.
This is the PHP code:
// connect to the service database if (($service =
ibase_service_attach($host, $username, $password)) == FALSE) {
$smarty-assign('msg', 'Service DB - Could not connect: ' .
ibase_errmsg()); $smarty-display('feedback.tpl'); break;}
Can I do this on Firebird and if so how?
Thanks
Neil

Seems that the rich text editor doesn't work and has stripped out all the
formatting so here is the error message and code again:
*
Service DB - Could not connect: Cannot attach to services manager service
var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/grip.fdb:service_mgr is not defined
*
// connect to the service database
if (($service = ibase_service_attach($host, $username, $password)) == FALSE) {

$smarty-display('feedback.tpl');

Thomas
That is the error message you are referring to, the call is:
---
if (($service = ibase_service_attach($host, $username, $password)) == FALSE) {
---
the host is defined as:
---
$host = '192.168.10.109:/var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/grip.fdb';
---
So I think that it is correct.
Also if I query the database this works fine - only attaching to the service db
is a problem.

I've no idea about the PHP usage, but the string above looks a bit
weird. The first part shouldn't be the path to database, but the
server/port information. E.g. the following is valid:
localhost:service_mgr
or
localhost/3051:service_mgr
Perhaps you are mixing something related to a database connection path
vs. server name when using the ibase_service_attach call?

Thanks for your help - you are right as soon as I took out the db name it
worked!
Thanks again

What are you putting in $host? It should just be the machine name ...
Services run on the server so do not need any reference to a particular
database.

[firebird-support] Is it possible to suspend a generator?
Hi I need to insert some data with fixed IDs. The table that I am inserting into already has data and a generator for the IDs. The new data is below the value of the generator and the IDs do not already exist. Can I suspend the generator while I insert these new rows and if so how? Thanks Neil
[firebird-support] Passing process name via jdbc

You can set the processname, but it is not possible to pass this in the connection string itself. To get Jaybird to pass a process name, you need to set the *system* property org.firebirdsql.jdbc.processName, eg by passing -Dorg.firebirdsql.jdbc.processName=processid on the commandline used to start your application (or somewhere in the startup scripts of your applicationserver). This is documented in the Jaybird 2.1.6 releasenotes (section What's new in Jaybird 2.1.6). A similar option is available for the pid. BTW: There is a separate mailinglist for questions on Jaybird: Firebird-Java, see http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/mailing-lists/ Mark
[firebird-support] Re: UK based Firebird on Linux expert
Lester It is the exact opposite of what we expected too! I should state up front that I did not setup this machine and the person that did has left. However, I do know that the system is running Firebird Classic 2.1 and that we are connecting from a Delphi client running on Windows 7. Looking at the Linux machine if I run blkid I get the following: /dev/cciss/c0d0p1: UUID=53d1653c-eb39-4f38-8291-942cd918694f TYPE=xfs /dev/cciss/c0d0p5: UUID=61c6f303-0576-4bbc-8f56-164968ac9684 TYPE=swap /dev/sda1: LABEL=HP v210w UUID=D06E29286E2908B4 TYPE=ntfs This implies that the majority of the disk is formatted as ntfs. I believe that this is because the machine is also used as samba mounts for Windows, but I could be wrong on this point. Does any of the above provide any pointers?

Even a gbak is taking 3 hours on Linux compared to 45 minutes for the equivalent sized database on windows. I am looking for someone that is UK based that could do some paid consultancy to look at the issues and help us find a resolution. Does anyone have someone that they would recommend? I have to say that is the exact opposite of what I am finding on machines. Even where same machine is dual booted, windows is substantially slower than an SUSE linux setup. First question would have to be what 'setup' are you using on the linux box ... I still prefer classic but then it's running into PHP as the access layer. And what file system have you installed ...

Make it an executable procedure and, in the trigger code, call it with EXECUTE PROCEDURE (:var1, :var2, etc.) Selectable procedures are intended to return sets and shouldn't be used to execute DML. Helen, it was actually a singleton select against RDB$DATABASE calling the SendMail UDF in the column list.

Could you post it with a better formatted version of both the error

To check the ODS, e.g. use gstat -h or AFAIR a: SHOW DATABASE; in isql shows the ODS as well. So, if you are connecting with a 2.1 server to an older (pre ODS 11.1) database, the monitoring tables aren't available.
