Events/Conferences.
From IBSurgeon blog:
17th of July, Piracicaba, Brazil: The 7th Firebird Developers Day will take place in the UNIMEP university theatre. This is undoubtedly the biggest worlwide event devoted to Firebird – more that 600 people, dozen of speakers and lot of interest.
As you may knows, Brazil is the N1 country in terms of number of Firebird users (following with Germany, Russia and USA), and Firebird is the number 1 database in Brazil too.
This will be 4th time IBSurgeon sponsors and presents at FDD. This year Dmitry Kuzmenko will speak about big Firebird databases (you may remember that recently we did test with 1Terabyte Firebird database) and about speed of test restores.
Also at this event IBSurgeon will announce some serious changes in licensing policy, intended to encourage people to treat Firebird databases in more careful way.
We will follow the results of conference and post updates here.

Technical Articles.
Scott Guthrie recently posted article about New Embedded Database Support with ASP.NET. This made me think about other options, Firebird in particular, and advantages and disadvantages. What I’m going to do is to introduce Firebird Embedded here and compare with features Scott wrote.

Worth Reading.
I was working today, building a procedure to populate some tables and do some data updates and deletes, for speed testing for one of my FDD sessions.
I decided to use the built-in rand() function of Firebird 2.x in the where clause of updates and deletes, but found out that the execution time was tooking too long to complete. Looking at statistics, it showed weird numbers for Indexed Reads, like, the updates of 5 records generating 80.000 indexed reads in the Primary Key index.
After some debugging, I just found out that rand() was the guilt! I moved it outside the update/delete statement, storing the result in a variable, and using the variable in the where clause. It worked million times faster!
So, moral of history: Don’t use rand() in the where clause of updates and deletes statements. And yep, I know this is quite unusual use
