ok, i think i found ... few hours ago the difference
between OIT and next transaction was 50 000 but
now i try again gstat -h and the difference if only 5 ...

i don't do any long transaction on the server but this is hard
to know if one select or update was not long to return as lot of
application are
connected to the database, but all application use the same procedure
to select or update the data :

procedure doSQL
begin
StartTransaction
Try
select or update data
committransaction
except
rollbacktransaction
end;
end;

for now the only explanation i see is that we do very lot of transaction
(average 225 / Secondes is it lot ?)
on the server and this why 20000 sean to be too little ... with around
19 millions transactions by days
i thing i must use much more than 20000 (1 million?)

How much transaction by second can firebird can handle ?


thanks for all
