Firebird 2.1 added the long-awaited monitoring tables. By querying special system tables starting with MON$, you get a snapshot of the current activities in your database like who is connected to your database, which transactions and statements are running and so on. You even can cancel a running query by executing a DELETE statement on MON$STATEMENTS. Firebird 2.5 will also allow you to cancel an entire attachment via a DELETE on MON$ATTACHMENTS.

Continuing with the series of reports about Firebird Developers Day, our Russian friends just arrived to Piracicaba. In the picture, from left to right, is Dmitry Kuzmenko (IBSurgeon), me and Dmitry Yemanov (his girlfriend on the side). After 17h flight, they were ready to take the second breakfast of the day 😉 Michael Philippenko (FastReports) was there too, but doesn’t appear in the picture.
Tomorrow, both Dmitries will do special Master Class Firebird sessions to selected people.
Firebird 1.5 Language Reference Update available
————————————————
For those who don’t regularly visit the Firebird project home page, the Firebird Documentation Subproject is pleased to announce the availability of the Firebird 1.5 Language Reference Update. This reference documents all the changes in and additions to the Firebird SQL language since the fork from InterBase 6.
Translations are under way, as are versions for Firebird 2.0 and 2.1.
A full Firebird Language Reference, obviating the need for the InterBase reference, is in preparation.
