Subject Disable garbage collection per connection
Author Thomas
Hi all,

While browsing the knowledge base on ibphoenix I came across a
Code-Sample in C on how to connect to Firebird/Interbase with garbage
collection disabled.
The Code-Sample was for InterBase 5.
Does it still make sense for FB1.5?

I'm asking because I experienced performance problems (occasional hangs
from 8-24 seconds) with Firebird and PHP under heavy load.
I suspect Firebird to be garbage collecting during these hangs, and thus
not answering to any queries.

Would it help using connections with garbage collection disabled?

Regards,
Thomas
