Subject Firebird configuration file(tunning firebird CS)
Author r.kruk@poczta.onet.pl
Hello,
I've question about tunning Firebird classic server.
First of all are there any publications on the internet addressing these issues?

Secondly, I'm curious about changing parameters in firebird.conf file. They are many parameters like DbCacheSize etc. I assume that changing these parameters can boost database performance.

What parrameters do you use or what do you recommend for following configuration:

-------------------
Server details:
-------------------
2 Xeon HT 2.4 CPUs
512 MB RAM
up to 20 concurrnt connections
database size: 4GB
Firebird: 1.5.1 CS

Server is running on 2.4 SMP kernel - i've heard that 2.6 kernel is better for Firebird CS running on 2CPU (or 2Intel HT CPUs which in fact gives 4CPUs). Is that true ? Moreover are there any specific kernel settings that can boost database?
