The question I have for the people monitoring this list is this:

Is IB 6.01 stable enough to run in a Win2000 production environment. I am
currently designing / coding a J2EE web application and think I will use IB
as the backend db. I just cannot afford the price of Oracle / SQL
Server......and I think db's like mySQL are not easy enough to manage from a
DBA's perspective.

Once my system goes live, there really will be no turning back. I currenly
have one non-profit application running that is using IB on a linux box.
For the most part it has ran good, although sometimes I have problems when a
pooled connection sits idle for too long.

I think IB is a nice product for the price, just am unsure if it is ready
for prime time. Are there other big players that use IB as their main
data-store?

Any feedback / ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi David (and others)

I think here is a pretty good spot to put discussion of this stuff,
rather than creating another list.

Previously I compiled interserver on redhat 6.2. The makefile and shell
scripts were fairly easy to figure out.

And did a laymans job of compiling interclient (without
obscurification). using:

java -d ../classes `find . -name '*.java' -print'

Tom Coleman also did a little bit of work in setting up the build
environment.

I like the ant thing, since that seems to be way things are going.

If anyone want to put their changes into the Firebird CVS tree you can
do it by joining the project, and doing it yourselves, or through me
would also work.

Like I said I'll try and get round to putting up a downloadable binary
release (including a 1.3 compiled one) sometime soon. Meanwhile any
contributions are welcome.

Cheers

Mark
