[firebird-support] DB upgrade questions
Hi We are looking to migrate our users from super server 2.0 to super classic 2.5.2. We have been waiting for FB 3 but can't hold off any later. I have a couple of questions... 1) Is SuperClassic the best be, we want to improve multi user performance? 2) Can 32bit ODBC connect to 64bit installs? Are there any other pit falls moving from 32bit to 64bit server (our app is 32bit) Thanks Rob

In any case your application requires 32Bit client libs. You can choose bitness of server as you like (os as your server OS requires). Elmar

As SuperClassic makes use of a local cache per connection and as SC is based on a single process, SC only makes sense as a 64-bit server, at least for medium and larger installations. When moving from a 32-bit to a 64-bit Firebird server, keep in mind that UDF libraries need to be compiled for 64-bit. -- With regards, Thomas Steinmaurer http://www.upscene.com/
