Paul Beach wrote on his blog :
There is a small problem with Firebird 2.5 SuperServer and MacOSX 10.7 (Lion)…
SuperServer will not start, and produces a crash report header similar to this
…
The bug is fixed in Firebird 2.5.1 but Firebird 2.5.1 is not available yet. So I have fixed the problem also in the Firebird 2.5 code and produced 32bit and 64bit builds that work properly.

Jorge Andrés Brugger asked:
Is there a full list of actual keywords and reserverd words? (there are updates on every release notes, but I´m looking for a already compiled and complete list)
Paul Vinkenoog responded:
Yes, I included one in the 2.5 LangRef Update:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd25-reskeywords-full.html
I have noticed two interesting udfs on stackoverflow (in firebird section) First one is FB_SLEEP() UDF – pause an FB thread for a number of seconds
and another is GETTIMEOFDAY UDF (because FB TIMESTAMPs are not TIME ZONE aware)

In the first part of our optimization story (“How to ruin Firebird performance…“) we mentioned that indices should be analyzed before dropping, even if they appeared to be very bad in IBAnalyst in terms of garbage and number of unique values.In essence, we need to log all queries used in applications, get their execution plans and check, how indices are used.For this we need to log all SQL traffic between applications and Firebird database.
