Firebird is mentioned in OpenSUSE Weekly News

“I want to inform our users that thanks to the efforts of Philippe Makowski, we’ve got Firebird in openSUSE now. He took over the package we had in Build Service, rewrote spec file from scratch, fixed quite some errors and adjusted package in many ways. And as the result Firebird package was finally accepted yesterday (1st of September) into openSUSE Factory.

CPU suggestions for Interbase/Firebird SQL db server

I work for a small company (fewer than 10 employees). We want to upgrade our primary server hardware this year.

Current server is a HP ML330 G3 with a single Xeon @ 2.8 Ghz, 3GB ram, Raid5 consisting of three 15krpm Ultra320 SCSI drives. OS is Windows 2000 Server.

Our current CPU features hyperthreading, which is enabled. The motherboard is a dual socket board, so initially I was shopping for a second identical CPU (because they’re as cheap as $15 on eBay). But after running some tests, I don’t think it would benefit us.

Our ERP software uses Interbase version 5.6, which does not appear to be multi-threaded based on my tests. I contacted the developer of our ERP package, and they confirmed this: Interbase will NOT utilize multiple physical or logical CPUs. More recent revisions of our ERP software have switched to Firebird db server, which I’ve learned is not multi-thread aware either. This sounds terribly old-fashioned, since modern CPUs are trending toward higher core-count.
