Hi Myles, Yes, I believe we actually stopped xinetd first to prevent new connections from being made, then killed existing connections. When you connect to the database with xinetd stopped you have to connect using the local filesystem path, not the network path. -steve On Wed, Apr 17, 2019

Sorry, to be more clear we used lucene outside of firebird. We also happened to store specific information about the files in firebird. I stayed away from the lucene within firebird approach because the libraries seemed out of date and I wasn't sure on support. hope that helps -steve On Thu,

We have used tesseract-ocr and lucene (plus firebird for the index data) for this in the past. It works pretty well, but not completely out of the box -- you will have to tweak the image a bit. -steve On Wed, Mar 13, 2019 at 4:33 AM Lester Caine les...@lsces.co.uk [firebird-support] wrote: >

1) How many of the processors are you actually using -- what is your load average? 2) How much of the memory are you using? 3) How much of the disk space are you using? How large is the database? 4) Are these multiple databases that can be split up into separate servers? Normally AWS seems to

Can you show us the permissions of the directory that you are trying to write to? And also of the database file that you are trying to back up? And is there an existing fbk that you are trying to overwrite or is it a new file? And what user and group are you using to perform the gbak along with

Hi Mirco, We have written multiple java EE web applications with Firebird on linux as the database. Usually we will use Glassfish (or Payara) as the app server and run Firebird in classic or superclassic form. We will usually use Nagios to monitor the servers and databases. My only complaint

Hi Alexey, No, we do not use the firebird plugin for nagios, and we don't check for as many things that you mention! We are doing basic server checks and then just making sure the DB can be connected to. Each night we make sure the restores worked fine and the database contains some of the

Hi Alan, It might not be an elegant solution, but I think you could also union the same query together 8 times and have the where clause "short circuit" if it is not supposed to execute. I would love to hear if anyone has any better ideas though, as this slowdown is something we have also seen.

I am also curious as to why you are seeing such high mutex wait percentages and would love to see some responses. During load testing of one of our systems we noticed the same thing, by migrating the test environment to SuperClassic 2.5.4 we were able to get better throughput over Classic 2.1.5

Hi Nick, My interpretation of those stats is that you are now out of memory as I always look at the Swap Used. You aren't using any. My experience with Linux is that the OS will take as much memory as it can/needs so it can look like you are maxed out on RAM usage or something, but you really
