[firebird-support] CORE-4467

2014-06-20 Thread Ivan Arabadzhiev intelru...@yahoo.com [firebird-support]
So I was redirected to the list to discuss  http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4467.    What I can add is that it occurred to me to run a validation on the database after I get the error (I keep a copy, just in case backup/restore goes wrong). Result is : Summary of validation errors

Well, when I say "recently" I actually mean that it happened 3 times this month (bad weather). Perhaps I should`ve mentioned that I noticed the exact same error two more times in the last year. Apparently only some of the workstations were active at the time and they just retried till there was no

Hi, I just saw CCH mentioned and figured I`d pitch in - http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4467 .

I`m not sure if running a 24/7 trace is a good idea (database is under relatively heavy load). Anything else I could do to help? btw I am noticing that the unexpected sweep is about 27000-3 transactions after the scheduled one. I could send a log if that helps in any way. I set the interval to

Well, first of all - thank you for your time. Trace log still showed nothing but I finally noticed a pattern and talked to one of the devs (who didn`t know but has access to the source) - apparently I`m going to have to strangle someone who has never seen the size of a production database :) 2014-

Well, it`s hard to help without code but I understand. Personally, I`d try to refactor things so GetResultBfr isn`t static (but my gut has been wrong before ...) There are opensource UDFs out there - ask google and try to compile one on your own (just in case there is something wrong elsewhere).

Just my opinion on the subject but direct db access from a mobile device is a bad idea. For a number of reasons - shaky connections, extra care while doing local sync (if you do), longer transactions (while the server waits for the app and network latency) - to name a few. If you have a choice - go

I have used Ruby (Sinatra) in the past (though I`m not too excited about the Firebird support, it is working), which does provide a rather easy start. Currently going with Clojure, which achieves results with even less code/effort (once you get over the lisp concepts) and offers a single .jar file

Don`t think that would change the answers above too much. Depending on the amount of data the device needs, you mind find it simpler to simply get a full 'packet' of data once you unload whatever info you have locally. Keeping in sync is generally a pain in the ass and not always worth it. If you w
