Loading...OpenDBX 1.1.2 released – firebird support added
I can proudly announce that this release of the OpenDBX library contains a fully featured and stable backend for firebird/interbase database servers which works well with both, the classic server and the newer firebird threaded server (often called “firebird super server”). Using the firebird/interbase client library correctly is one of the more challenging tasks and therefore great news for the OpenDBX project.

We actually have been deploying only super-servers, on beefy boxes with 2x dual core with 2x HT each (8x processing unit in total), because of our lack of experience in classic servers. Well, those server boxes do run other applications so you don’t get CPUs sitting there doing nothing, but I still wonder which one will be more suitable — one single super-server with shared page cache pool that can only utilise one CPU core, or multiple classic server instances that have their own page cache. However we do have up to 160 concurrent connections to the database on some of our boxes. Not sure how Win2k3 will perform with this kind of process count. Damn! Wish we can deploy them onto Linux boxes.

At last in Brazil, the relationship between Borland and Firebird community is getting better. For the second year, Borland is sponsoring the Firebird Developers Day conference. You can check the nice promotion banner they included in their June newsletter clicking here.
I hope things will get even better when “DevCo” starts running.
