Lines are counted according to what the underlying IO layer considers separate lines. For ports using EDITLINE, a line is what readline() provides in a single remains uncharged. Using -ex(tract) The command line switch -ex(tract) can be used to extract meta data from the database. It can be used in conjunction with the -o(utput) switch to extract the information

On Linux, all local connections are made via the network layer, using localhost (often implicitly). Only the server process needs access rights to the database file server on Windows, it is possible to connect directly to the local server, without using a network layer. If you intend to use Firebird for this type of connection only, you can skip the “Pinging the server”

a single file database is simply the database name and for multi-file databases, it is the first data file added. Coming up in the remainder of this manual, we will discuss the following: • Command This makes the shadow file the new database file, and the users are able to continue processing data as normal and without loss. In the event that your main database file(s) become corrupted or unreadable the efficiency of the database performance. It is far quicker to read data from memory that it is to have to physically read the data from disc. The size of the database cache is dependent on the database
