Firebird 1TB Database
When Dmitry Kuzmenko (IBSurgeon) spoke at FDD a few weeks ago, he shown the results of his recent tests creating a 1 TB (yes, ONE TERABYTE) database with Firebird!
It was really cool to know that FB can handle such beast! A more detailed report about this will be public available in August. Keep checking FirebirdNews!
Firebird Protocol
Hi,
I’ve been working on an improved plug-in for wireshark (previously known as ethereal) and have produced a “Wire Protocol Specification” as a byproduct.
From my preliminary reading of news groups, etc., several people have asked for this kind of information. It’s not complete, it’s not correct but it’s better than anything else I have been able to find.
It should go in your Documentation and Papers section.
Regards,
Mark Chambers
Firebird protocol and latency
Adriano has done some tests with the Firebird Protocol behavior in high latency (aka. Internet), and posted the results in his new blog. Worth reading!
Note: If you check the Firebird tracker, you will notice that the most voted feature right now is “improvent of the network protocol”. You can vote there too, to raise the priority even more.
Donation from FDD attendees to the Firebird Foundation
During the Brazilian 6th Firebird Developers Day on-line subscription process, attendees had the chance to donate money to the Firebird Foundation. Also, in the conference day, people was able to donate any amount of money.
Today, the collected money (USD 1.250) was sent to the Foundation, as can be seen here.
Thanks for all the donors!
6th FDD – huge success
Nor the global crisis nor the pig influenza was enough to affect the success of the 6th edition of the Firebird Developers Day Conference in Brazil! About 480 people where there, and you can check report (in English) and pictures here.
500 folders for FDD!
Last Saturday was the day to assemble the 500 folders that every FDD attendee will receive. Vlad Khorsun and Dmitry Kouzmenko (international speakers) will arrive in São Paulo in the next few minutes. Last time I meet them personaly was in Italy, in the last FB Intl. Conference.
Btw, I wish to thanks IBSurgeon for sponsoring Vlad flight tickets!
“Late” people can still subscribe to the conference until tomorrow.
500 FDD folders
BTW, will we have an International FB Conference this year?
Local protocol and multi-core processors
Dmitry Kuzmenko posted in his blog an “interesting” situation detected with the use o gbak + Firebird 1.5 + Local protocol. Read it here.
Do you want a faster communication protocol for FB?
Firebird is known to be slow when used with Internet connections. Firebird 2.1 already brought to us an improved communication protocol, but we need an even faster protocol. If you consider this an important feature, please vote for it to raise its priority.
