Firebird Conf

The document discusses the firebird.conf configuration file that controls Firebird settings. It is typically located in the Firebird installation directory or specified locations depending on the operating system. The file uses comments, configuration settings on individual lines, and different value types like integers, booleans, and strings. There are over 30 configurable options that control aspects of caching, connections, locking, and networking.

firebird.conf ============= Firebird configuration can be changed by entries in the firebird.conf.

Depending on operating system this file is found in a little bit of different ways. Windows ------On Windows this file is located by first looking inside the registry for a string value specifying the directory of firebird.conf. LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances\DefaultInstanc e If this value is not present, it assumes firebird.conf is placed in the directory directly above the fbserver.exe. If fbserver.exe is placed as C:\Program Files\Firebird\bin\fbserver.exe then the firebird.conf file is C:\Program Files\Firebird\firebird.conf POSIX (excluding Darwin/Mac OS X) --------------------------------For POSIX systems it first tries the "directory above" approach, described above. If that fails (note: how could this be???) it then tries to find the directory from the environment variable FIREBIRD. If that fails, it tries to find it inside "/usr/local/firebird". Darwin -----Darwin on the other hand first checks the environment variable FIREBIRD. If not found, it [... John, please describe the "bundle" stuff here]. As a last resort it too falls back to "/usr/local/firebird". Syntax of firebird.conf ======================= Comments -------The # character is used for comments and can be placed anywhere on a line. Anything following the # character on a line is considered a comment. Examples: # This is a comment DefaultDbCachePages = 2048 Configuration settings ---------------------Configuration settings are placed one at each line, followed by zero or # This is an end-of-line comment

more whitespace (tab or space) characters, a '=' character, followed by again any number of whitespace, followed by the configuration value. Example: DefaultDbCachePages=2048 CpuAffinityMask = 2 # only run on second CPU Configuration settings can also be indented on a line by any number of tabs or spaces. Example: DefaultDbCachePages = 2048 # This is also a legal config setting

There are as of this writing, 28 Feb. 2003, 35 user settings. Not all settings apply to all operating systems. There are three types of configuration values: integer, boolean and string. Integers -------Integers is what they sound like, an integral value. Examples: 1 42 4711 Boolean ------Boolean is expressed as integer values with 0 being "false" and anything != 0 is taken to mean "true". For consistency we recommend you only use 0/1 String -----Strings are also what they sound like, strings. Examples: RootDirectory = /opt/firebird RemotePipeName = "pipe47" Configuration options --------------------RootDirectory SortMemBlockSize string integer default 1048576 (1 MB)

SortMemUpperLimit integer Defaults: Superserver (SS), 67108864 (64 MB). Classic server (CS), 0. RemoteFileOpenAbility boolean default false. (experimental?) Allow DB files used over NFS mounts. GuardianOption integer default 1 Affects the operation of the guardian: 0 - only start the Firebird service once. 1 - restart the Firebird service if it should terminate.

CpuAffinityMask integer default 1 A bit-field defining what CPU's the process should be allowed to run on. Only meaningful for Windows SS on SMP systems.

"FirebirdIPI" (Windows only)

MaxUnflushedWrites integer # of writes before file writes are forcibly synched. Windows default: 100. All else -1 (i.e. don't forcibly synch) MaxUnflushedWriteTime integer Windows default: 5. All else -1 (i.e. don't forcibly synch) ProcessPriorityLevel integer default 0 - meaning depends on system. CreateInternalWindow boolean default true Windows only. Tells if the Firebird server should create a (hidden) window (used for IPC?) or not. CompleteBooleanEvaluation boolean default off Controls whether full evaluation of OR and AND statements is performed. If your SQL code depends on side-effects of full evaluation of right-hand-side terms, even if the expressions final result could be determined by just examining the value of the first term, you might need to turn this on.
