Hi All,
In my case there is no large data to be analysed, only a timer that checks whether it is midnight or not. If it is midnight then update a single row in database this is done using stored procedure.
Confusing part is below error occurs only between midnight that is from 12 to 2 AM. During this time stored procedure executed will return deadlock error or timeout exception.
1. “ERR::-2147467259: Deadlock concurrent transaction number is 5744401”
2. ERR::Error reading data from the connection.; FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient
3. ERR::Timeout exceeded.; FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient:
ERR::-2146233079: Connection must be valid and open
at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbCommand.CheckCommand()
at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbCommand.ExecuteScalar()
I don’t think it has to do anything with FB as it this same stored procedures work fine during day time without any issues.
Thank you.

Please, let us know what the cause ended up being and how you resolved the problem!
Alright, I will explain the issue in detail.
1. I have a .NET application of mine deployed since about last 7 yrs with about 90 tables in the firebird database. Very routinely, as per customer’s requirement, I need to carry out changes to database structure [adding / renaming / removing – field(s) OR table(s)]. After doing such updates to my database structure I copy data to the new design database, through a .NET application.
2. Recently after about 7 yrs, I started to get exception “Error reading data from the connection” during transfer of data for a table which now had grown to about 13,26,000 records. For this table I was using FbDataAdapter to copy data in batches of 50,000 records.
3. I observed that every time the exception was raised after copying 12,50,000. So from the source, I deleted the already copied 12,50,000 records and resumed to copy the remaining 76,000. This too failed.
4. Later all my attempts as under failed:
(a) using FbDataReader in place of FbDataAdapter.
(b) changing connecting string elements like Connection Timeout, Connection lifetime, Pooling.
(c) Copying after backup-restore of both source and destination database.
(d) Changing machines.
5. So I wrote a stored procedure with inputs from Dimitry which copied records using execute Statement On External database. This stored procedure I executed through FbCommand's ExecuteNonQuery. This worked fine.
6. Now on Dimitry’s advice I changed the FbTransaction from:
FbTransaction tx = con.BeginTransaction();
To:
FbTransaction tx = con.BeginTransaction(
new FbTransactionOptions() {TransactionBehavior =
FbTransactionBehavior.Concurrency |
FbTransactionBehavior.NoWait});
And found that FbDataAdapter also started to work correct.
7. The option at Para 5 is much faster. In case you need more details / code I will please share.
Regards,
Rajiv

Thanks a lot, Dimitry !
This issue of mine, for which I had posted for help on the firebird-net-provider group, is now resolved.
