How to increase Firebird backup and restore speed (up to 30%)

Leave a comment

It seems that many Firebird developers and administrators are not aware about  command line switch -se[rvice] for gbak.exe

-SE[RVICE] <servicename>

This switch causes gbak to backup a remote database via the service manager. This causes the backup file to be created on the remote server, so the path format and filename must be valid on the remote server. The servicename is currently always the text service_mgr.

here is the rest of the article in Eglish

also there is an Italian mention in blogosphere

BlackFish is Dead , Firebird as Embedded Database replacement

Leave a comment

Marco Canto noticed that

BlackFish SQL, the .NET database installed with recent versions of Delphi, is not part of Delphi XE… and it seems Embarcadero pulled the plug on it.

Would Firebird fit the bill ? , I think it would but tell us your thoughts (pro/cons) :

I really think Delphi has lacked a local and simple option, and suggesting people to buy the cheap “Interbase To Go” or pick the free Firebird Embedded still doesn’t address the original concern. With Delphi core dataset classes and data-ware controls still bound to a navigational model, a navigational database can really make simple applications fast to write and fast to execute.
