What kind or 'maintenance' we have to in databases of our customers?



Best regards

responding to network requests."

"Updates, inserts or deletes that were not committed before the server
crashed might have disappeared".

>INET/inet_error: connect errno = 10060

That's a network error "Connection timed out". It means the established
connection failed because the connected host has stopped responding, i.e.,
it is the error that prompted the one from the remote interface module.

>INET/inet_error: connect errno = 10061

Also a network error "Connection refused". Some attempts were made to
reconnect to the server computer but the server computer actively refused
them. It usually means that the Firebird server is not running.

>INET/inet_error: connect errno = 10065

Another network error "No route to host". A socket operation tried to find
the server at the address specified but with no luck.

>INET/inet_error: read errno = 10054

Yet another network error, the first in the bunch, "Connection reset by
peer". That only tells you that the network connection was broken in the
middle of a network operation.

So - about all we can tell from this is that client applications are losing
their connections with the server. The fault seems to be on the server side.
You said you have other sites that have never seen this problem. Find out
what's different at *this* one: someone is rebooting the machine, perhaps,
or there is a bad cable or network card; or some other application is
installed on the server that is aggressively stealing or blocking Firebird's
service port, or......

For your own peace of mind, you might like to do a gstat -h on their
database and look at their transaction stats and creation date. If you find
that it has been a long time since the database has been restored, do a safe
backup and restore and see whether the problem goes away when the database
is clean.
