Subject High memory consumption
Author Carsten Schäfer
Hi,
on one customer side Firebird Server is eating memory.
It's a Window 2003 Server with 2,8GH Xeon and 3 GB memory.
The FBServer (FB1.5.2 SuperServer) process memory usage is growing until
the machine begins to swap memory and keeps growing.
For testing purposes i've installed FB1.5.3 RC2 Classic Server on this
machine, now I've 3 or more fb_inet_server processes that keeps growing.
We 're connecting to the database via Jaybird 1.5.5 with connection and
statement pooling. We don't use autocommit-mode. We use only
standard-sql, no udfs.
Here are some statistics of the database (database size:700 MB):

On other customers sides(with smaller databases and less users) we don't
have these problems.
Does anybody have an explanation ?
