Subject AW: [firebird-support] Problem Firebird Classic Server
Author Olaf Kluge
Hi,



thank your for your request.



We have some connections to the Frontend (MS Access for input and analysis,
the driver name is Gemini odbc 2.1), the tables are connected with odbc and
a odbcdirect-connection opens the procedures. Does the firebird-engine hang,
the Frontend is waiting for it. Can you give me an example to connect the
firebird database safer (in vba for Microsoft Access, DAO or ADO?) How can I
call procedures with parameters in both directions with the new connection?



Why don't we have the problem with the superserver-architecture? Since we
use the classic server, the problem already exists.



Thanks in advance.



O. K.

You're probably not taking care of your transactions *or* crashed
workstations are holding this transactions opened. If the later, you should
lower your OS KeepAliveInterval (for Windows take a look at this:
http://support. <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=140325>
microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=140325 and this
http://support. <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/120642/EN-US/>
microsoft.com/kb/120642/EN-US/) -- look for
"DummyPacketInterval" in your firebird.conf for more info.

...AND, do not use guardian at all (or uncomment and set GuardianOption = 0
in your Firebird.conf)

HTH,
