Firebird used on a site with 1 Million users / day
Q:What kind of system is this? .The response is on Firebird-support
Monitoring software with also web access by many many users ~1 000 000
They do something which need transaction and some select(reports) which “not need” transaction
but in transactional database select also start short transaction then i can not remove it creation..
1 000 0000 x 10 queries per day i got 10 000 000 transaction+ system self generate 8 000 000 transaction per day (to
storing/updating/computing.. data)
and Forced Writes are ON but database work on some not mechanical device like normal HDD and corruption is reduced to minimal possible but this transaction counter do may problem :/Karol Bieniaszewski
Forced writes anyone ?
Notes on Paul Beach blog about forced writes on Linux/Windows and the config setting (how it was ignored on linux on older versions of firebird)
The issues are solved on firebird > 2.0.4 or firebird >=2.1.0 final , also forced writes should be left on if you don’t need corrupted db
