Firebird to be included in #Mageia : a new GNU #Linux distribution based on #Mandriva Ashes

Leave a comment

Firebird history and Mageia story are related to each other  , here are the Philippe’s kind words

A new GNU Linux distribution is born : Mageia, a Mandriva Linux fork.

So why speak about this here ?

First, Firebird packages need a maintainer and as I am the one in Mandriva, I will do the same in Mageia

Second, this story remind me a little the Firebird story

Third I’m enthusiast to contribute (may be more than only Firebird related packages) to a such challenging adventure, and in this one, there are people that I really trust.

Long live Mageia : http://www.mageia.org/

How to increase Firebird backup and restore speed (up to 30%)

Leave a comment

It seems that many Firebird developers and administrators are not aware about  command line switch -se[rvice] for gbak.exe

-SE[RVICE] <servicename>

This switch causes gbak to backup a remote database via the service manager. This causes the backup file to be created on the remote server, so the path format and filename must be valid on the remote server. The servicename is currently always the text service_mgr.

here is the rest of the article in Eglish

also there is an Italian mention in blogosphere
