Each process has its own private page cache and, on 32-bit systems, can use up to 2 GB of RAM. • Superserver is a process named fbserver.exe on Windows, fbserver Superserver is a threaded application. It starts (or assigns) one or more threads for each successful connection request. All of these connection threads share a common page cache. On 32-bit systems, Superserver

If you do want to run Firebird as an application, it is recommended to install Linux or other Unix-like systems As a service. On Windows server systems As a service or as an application.

firebird.conf. Guardian When run as a Windows application (as opposed to a service) you can't use the Fire- bird Guardian. Note that running Firebird as an application is the only option on Win- dows 9x–ME. Can be used with the Guardian on Win- dows, whether run as an application or as a service. Events Can't use Fiebird events if the server is be- hind a firewall or if connections are made through a secure systems, the “Program Files” directory is reserved for 64-bit programs. If you try to install a 32-bit application into that folder, it will be auto-redirected to a directory which – in English versions – is

as DOUBLE PRECISION, which is a floating point type. The biggest integer type in dialect 1 is the 32-bit INTEGER. In dialect 1 as in dialect 3, generators are 64-bit. But if you assign the generated values 648 and beyond, the truncated value would wrap around at this point, giving the impression of a 32-bit generator. In the situation described above, with 1000 inserts per second, the generator-fed column assign generator values to an INTEGER field, all goes well as long as the values lie within the 32-bit range. But as soon as that range is exceeded, you get a numeric overflow error: dialect 3 is much

Embedded SQL defines the DSQL subset supported by Firebird gpre, the application which allows you to embed SQL constructs into your host programming language (C, C++, Pascal, that can be executed using Firebird isql, the command-line application for accessing databases interactively. As a regular client application, its native language is DSQL. It also offers a few additional successfully or fails due to a specific error condition.

Thanks to everyone who has when the user creates new tables and/or indices. For example, a brand-new database, created on a 32-bit Linux system, with a 4Kb page size allocates a total of 0xa1 pages (161 pages) for the system tables Inventory Page (TIP). The highest possible transaction number is 2,147,483,647 or 0x7fffffff in a 32-bit system. Once you hit this transaction, no more can be created, and the database needs to be shutdown
