IBProvider News

In the current update, IBProvider v5.9 and LCPI OLE DB Services v1.12 started to use a common thread pool. This rearrangement of subsystems makes the operating system resource management more efficient and improves the overall performance of high-load applications.

Shared thread pool

Currently, the threads are being used for the following tasks:

  • Connection pool
  • Query pool
  • Asynchronous loading of result sets
  • Asynchronous notifications of the provider
  • Working with files
  • Garbage collection in updatable result sets

Kind Regards, IBProvider Team.

Patched IB DataPump

IB DataPump is an old and very known utility from CleverComponents used to pump data from several source databases to IB/FB databases. Unfortunately, it isn’t updatet from a long time and has a problem with Firebird 3 servers. A few months ago, it became Open Source, so it was possible to fix this problem.

Norbert Saint Georges was kind enough to compile a new version with the fix and provide a download link at tetrasys.fi/data/ibpump.7z

Jaybird 3.0.8 released

Jaybird 3.0.8 has been released. This release contains one bug fix:

  • Fixed: On Firebird 3 and 4 with WireCrypt=Enabled, the connection could hang or throw exceptions like “Unsupported or unexpected operation code”. (JDBC-599)

Jaybird 3.0 supports Firebird 2.0 and higher, on Java 7, 8, 11 and 13. Basic Java 9 and higher compatibility is provided through the Java 8 version of the driver.

Jaybird 3.0.7 has been released. This release contains a new feature and two bug fixes:

  • Fixed: Instances of java.sql.Blob and java.sql.Clob obtained from a result set were freed after calls to ResultSet.next(). (JDBC-588)
  • New feature: added FBEventManager.createFor(Connection) to create an EventManager for an existing connection. Backported from Jaybird 4. (JDBC-594)

Jaybird 3.0 supports Firebird 2.0 and higher, on Java 7, 8, 11 and 13. Basic Java 9 and higher compatibility is provided through the Java 8 version of the driver.
