I'm not going to tell you it's your application's fault.
But I can say that I have one system which has a 5Gb Firebird database on 4
servers which replicate to each other. They are all used 24x7 for a call
centre up to 30 simultaneous users (multiple connections for each) and the
phones can run red hot at times. The databases log themselves so data grows
quite rapidly (IBLogManager) and then I export and expunge logs to external
DB every 6 months.
144 tables, 45 views. 624 triggers 113 generators 347 indices.
The system runs on windows server 2003.
FB version 2.1.4 snapshot to avoid blob transliteration and memory loss bug
I monitor the 4 servers with Sinatica.
The system has been running in this form for 5 years and a lesser form since
1997.

And: I do not suffer the issues you are relating here. So there must be
something, which produces your frustration, which should be able to be
eliminated. If you are patient enough and thorough enough, here, the issue
could be resolved.
I am more than happy with performance and stability of Firebird. My clients
have never had reason to question its choice.

I certainly do not suffer crashes and server freezes as you report so what
could be the reason for my success and your frustration? Do you want to get
to the bottom of this rationally?
