Apache, PHP and Firebird Performance Tuning
In the last post I commented that I had a test-bed application, based on Apache, PHP and Firebird, and once the problem with the images was solved I could finally start doing the actual performance testing/tuning that I originally wanted to do.
The only major changes from the last post is that I’ve now upgraded the database engine to the “Firebird v2.5 Alpha 1” that supports SMP, and that the application now contains more base data in the tables.
Progress on the Entity Framework Provider for Firebird
Today, after some days/weeks, I finally created some noticable (= not only internals) progress with Entity Framework provider for Firebird.
Now, the provider is able to use, map, call, … stored procedures (and functions [very experimental]). You can select stored procedures from database, map these to some operations in EF, create “function imports” etc. You can see this working on picture:
Apache Serves Images Slowly – Testing with Firebird
The application was a test-bed app that uses the FireBird SQL database to handle sessions and dynamic data, all on the same machine. [Performance Tip :Seems that you need to put KeepAlive Off on apache to server many images and too many clients :If you have more clients than available apache children, KeepAlive settings will hurt overall performance and should be turned off.]
phpBB 3.0.2 Released
We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB 3.0.2 package. This version has seen numerous stability fixes, performance tweaks and general bugs fixed. Additionally one minor security-related bug was fixed. [ED:it should work without problems with firebird 2.x]
Cooking code with the right ingredients
My previous post caused some very interesting discussions on the decisions that I am facing when starting on a new project. The suggestions were as varied as the choices in front of me. It seems that any of the alternatives can do the job, so why don’t I just make a decision and move on? Because its at this crucial point that any choice I make will impact the direction of the application for many years to come.

Latest FBLib for Delphi/Lazarus
At the moment (well, for the last two years now) we only use FBLib.
The original author is nowhere to be found, so I started maintaining
or rather fixing the issues we deteced. For our latest FBLib, you can
get a update from tiOPF’s project on SourceForge.net. Read more
Solaris and the 256 File Descriptor Problem
Some of you reading this may remember that back when InterBase 6.0 was released on Solaris we ran into a fundamental problem on Solaris. It seems that since 1992 there has been an open bug documenting Solaris’ file descriptor problem: “32-bit stdio routines should support file descriptors >255.” Read more
