Subject SV: [firebird-support] Firebird classic vs supperclassic
Author Poul Dige
Hi Jesus,

We are running the x64 version of FB2.5.0 SC on ubuntu 11.04 server for almost a year and we are indeed happy. So far we didn't experience anything else but e.g. much faster connection time, compared to 2.1 CS.

It is correct that you take down the whole server if you really crash one thread, but if you already manage to run your application with SS then I would say: go for it (if you can benefit from multi core support).

Best regards
Poul Dige

Hello Thomas, i have read it. I know people still prefer Classic, but i
think that there has been time and effort to develop the Superclassic model
and now people does not trust in like in classic. Also i have read people
that say that superserver is not for production, but i use it in production
servers since 1.0 and now in 2.5, and until know i have not had any
problems and is working for months 24/7 without issues. Now i have one
bigger client and i have to select one of two models. I have readed
comparisons, benchmark but searching no information of community feedback.

What i tried is get people experience in using both architectures and
feedback of their use. The feedback of people is very interesting for the
community.

Regards, Jesus
