Subject Firebird 1.5 optimal settings
Author Luis Quental
Hello all,

I have a Firebird database with about 1.4 Gb, running on Windows 2000
Professional with Firebird 1.5 RC7. The database has 83 tables.

The server hardware is a Pentium 4 1.7Mhz, 256 Mb Ram

What I would like to know is what are the optimal values for the Buffer
size, Page buffers and Page size of the database.

The values I use are

BufferSize = 32000
Page buffers = 10000
Page Size = 4096

And what is the optimal configuration for a Pentium 4 with HP, or a
Xeon? Does CpuAffinityMask = 1 on the conf file work with these CPUs or
do I have to disable HP on bios, or use Classic Server?


Thanks in advance for any help,

Luis Quental
