I am doing some performance testing with IB_DataPump.

On a machine (with and SSD drive) I get about 4200 records per second.
I have used TCP/IP as my connection method (my std method) and wanted to
see if 'Local' would increase performance. I can't get it going, I keep
getting unavailable database (no other apps are using it). Do you think
it would improve performance?

I have source DB set to read only and am using TIB_Cursor for reading
and writing. In practice, for the purposes involved the dest table is
always empty but fields may differ.

Are there any other ways to improve the performance?

Thanks
Rob
