Thanks for the feedback. I've been using Interbase Heartbeat which is
nice from a low level monitor of the server usage, RAM, disk, etc. but
my greatest concern is that I'm writing my application to be as
optimal as possible.

I want to be sure to avoid the dreaded sweep problems I read so much
about with Firebird 1.5. I need to know that I'm opening
transactions, and closing them off so that I don't put the database
into a tailspin somewhere down the line.

What techniques have you used to help monitor this from within your
applications? Any tips for young players?
