Hi,
Well, needless to say I'm pretty happy with Firebird, which I believe is a great db. In fact up to 10 concurrent users (I'm talking about our system, it will obviously vary with others) Fb is better than SQL Server. Well, I tried both with SQLServer 2005 (a developers' release) and Express and they both give me the same numbers! I tried both with the same hardware/sw configuration and the same dedicated client machines (about 40 boxes running plastic clients). pablo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "For users and developers of the Firebird .NET providers" <firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 7:24 PM Subject: Re: [Firebird-net-provider] Firebird scalability under heavy load > Hi Pablo, > > Thank you for publishing your numbers. > >> On the other hand, in my test, the embedded server is slower than the >> "external" one: 444s to complete the embedded vs 291 the "external". >> Just to give some data to compare: using SQL Server the same test >> (exactly the same code base) requires 198 seconds.
