Today Habarisoft announced the start of the FireAlarm project, a monitoring solution for the Open Source RDBMS Firebird.
FireAlarm checks Firebird servers for high load situations, caused by software failures or denial of service (DOS) attacks, and helps developers or database administrators to detect performance bottlenecks. It is written in the Java programming language and released as open source.

If you are interested in one (or more) not presented functions send an eMail to help@freeadhocudf.org.

As a side effect, it downgrades three-way joins to two-way ones, thus helping the optimizer to choose a good plan in the worst (zero selectivity) cases. This should resolve CORE-2933 (Very slow execution of a script that creates a lot of metadata) and CORE-3237 (Slow compilation of stored procedures) without tweaking the optimizer constants.
New plugin manager was committed to trunk. Use it for all types of plugins.
Alex Peshkoff Fixed binary packages build. No more CS/SS difference. No more linux RPMs on SF (now they are created on each distro anyway)
Another interesting bug fixed in the future 2.5.1 is CORE-2756 :substring from timestamp – unexpected result

Crypt-o will help you to organize and store securely any kind of valuable information, such as logins, passwords, customers or employees lists, access codes, credit card numbers, PIN codes, files, etc.
Crypt-o is a secure Client/Server solution for creating custom databases, which is designed for use in enterprise networks. The data is reliably stored in Firebird SQL Server database and is encrypted using AES encryption algorithm with 256-bit key. Crypt-o client applications access the Crypt-o Server using secure SSL connection.

1. The computer was as below :
2. Hard Drives :
a. Western Digital 1TB 64MB Cache Sata III Black
b. Crucial 128GB RealSSD C300
The test consisted in the creation of a database with 1 table :
CREATE TABLE COR_PRUEBA (
INTEGER INTEGER NOT NULL,
CHARACTER CHAR (20),
CARACTER2 CHAR (10),
“DOUBLE” DECIMAL (15, 2),
INTEGER1 INTEGER);
ALTER TABLE COR_PRUEBA
PK_COR_PRUEBA ADD CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY (INT);
The test is done with the IBExpert 2009.08.19 and consisted of the insertion of 500,000 records (Insert operations) with random data.
Results:
Disc A (HDD): 1hr 11m 40s 43ms
Disc B (SSD): 3m 42s 224ms
What really stunned me was the Big difference and both tests were performed with exactly the same parameters.
Judge yourself whether it is worth mounting a SSD for storage xD.
