FireBird Performance Tweaking

Leave a comment

Mr. Hartmann wrote on his blog

Last week, I posted a story about my interaction with a software developer who uses FireBird (FB) as a back-end for their software. The short version is that they left FB’s settings at default and were using a really, REALLY old version of FB. This caused the application to have massive (18 minute) load times and hang the entire server, with just one client connected. Bellow (in the article) are the changes I made to increase overall performance of the application and server.

Software performance investigation vs throwing more hardware

I found this link on reddit under /r/sysadmin. Josh Hartmann has a customer that had slowness issues with a database server. Josh contacted the developer and every time the developer’s response was to add more hardware to the problem. After some investigation he found a few issues with the developer’s setup of the server, fixed it and now his customer is happier then ever. Here is his write up, great stuff.

 

Firebird Security Updates for v2.1 and v2.5 series

Leave a comment

The Firebird project has released Security Updates for the currently maintained 2.1.x and 2.5.x versions (v2.1.7 and v2.5.3 SU1). These updates fix a recently discovered security vulnerability (CORE-4630) that may be used for a remote DoS attack that could be performed by unauthorised users. We recommend Firebird users to upgrade as soon as is practical.
