Subject Re: How to improve Firebird performance on a large table?
Author trskopo
Dear Alan,

Thanks for your reply.

This is my table ddl :
CREATE TABLE LOG
(
ID Integer NOT NULL,
ID_TBL Integer NOT NULL,
TBL_NM Varchar(40) NOT NULL,
OPR Char(1) NOT NULL,
LOG_AT Timestamp DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
SNC Smallint DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);

I think, I found the problem.

I made a small app that seek for snc's value every second. It seems makes firebird server works heavily.

Changing seeking time from 1 second to 10 seconds seems solved the problem.

Thanks anyway for your suggestions.

Best regards,
Anto.
