The following solution was originally posted to the Firebird Support Mail List by Ivan Prenosil.
He is using Firebird and c++ for an application , You can read his story (about killing an bug)
I am so happy, I must write somewhere this, after more then a month of complains from a customer I finally solved the problem. He was complaining that my application is getting slower and slower as he uses it. If he exits and start it again it was fast. This was not easily noticeable on faster machines, but on his Pentium 1 was really slow.
Someone was asking why the current Firebird MemberShip/Role/Profile Example doesn’t work with the ASP.NET Configuration tool for security.
Hopefully this solves the problem. If it does I would appreciate someone letting me know so that others will also know in the future.
[Some modifications to Membership/Role/Profile Example]
Sean Riley shares his experience with getting the embedded Firebird to work with FirebirdClient 2.0 in forums.dotnetfirebird.org
From Jiří Činčura’s blog:
Well, a little bit weird heading. But a few days ago there was a really interesting discuss on the Firebird(CZ) list (about the ROW_COUNT variable). During the discussion I’ve decided (with Ivan Prenosil’s kick) to test what will happen if you’ll have more than 2G and also 4G records.
