We still use IBX with FB 1.5, and it works fine for our needs. (We do everything ourselves through
straight sql though, we don't use any sort of db-aware components. I'm not sure if that affects
anything.)
Just don't forget to update the client libraries that you ship with your application. You can
continue using IBX, but use firebird's version of gds32.dll (I don't remember what it's called
normally, but if you rename it and put it in the same folder as your app, you shouldn't have any
problems, and the FB dll won't interfere with other copies of gds32.dll you might have around for
other reasons -- say you need to connect to both IB and FB servers.)
We're still not sure if that's what caused our problems, but we know that some of our machines
still had IB6 dll's when we upgraded to FB 1.5 on the server, and we theorize those machines
somehow caused the server to tail-spin (100% cpu as soon as the clients would connect.) After
fixing the dll's, we never had that problem again. The problem didn't appear with FB 1.0*. Helen
asked us to investigate further, and sadly we didn't. When the problem went away, we stopped
looking. I can't guarantee that it's related.
