installation instructions correctly, there should be nothing for you to do upon completion but log in and go! 3.2.4. Server modes Some installers ask you to choose between Classic, SuperClassic and SuperServer to 255 bytes long, but due to the nature of the hashing algorithm used by the Srp plugins the “effective length” is around 20 bytes, so it’s not very useful to enter a password that’s much longer than example, if your server’s IP address in the domain that is visible to your client is 192.13.14.1, go to a command shell on the client machine and type the command ping 192.13.14.1 substituting this

change the security issues discussed this article, it merely highlights the importance of using effective environmental security in secure installations. Embedded server is discussed in more detail later to provide external security. Once a person has physical access to a database file there is no effective way to prevent that user from reading all data (and metadata) within that file.  “Adequate” security network, or by any local users other than specifically authorised personnel. For the security to be effective it is also preferred that the server computer is stored in a secure location to prevent physical

truncated to the lower 32 bits, giving an effective range of: -2 31 .. 2 31 -1 or -2,147,483,648 .. 2,147,483,647 Although the generator itself would go on from 2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,648 and Using generators to create unique row IDs 4.1. Why row IDs at all? The answer to this question would go far beyond the scope of this article. If you see no need to have a generic, unique “handle” for every

Windows platforms If you install Firebird 1.03 or higher under Windows 95/98/ME, uncheck the option attempted to document any known issues. Tip If you do not find a copy of the release notes in your kit, go back to the Downloads page of the Fire- bird website at http://firebird.sourceforge.net and download For example, if your server's IP address in the domain that is visible to your client is 192.13.14.1, go to a command shell and type the command ping 192.13.14.1 substituting this example IP address for

already have an earlier version of Firebird or InterBase® on your server and you think you might want to go back to it, set up your fall-back position before you begin: - Use the existing version of gbak to fdb, using the directions in the chapter entitled “Security” in the Firebird 2.0.x Release Notes. - Go to your System directory and make backup copies of fbclient.dll and/or gds32.dll if you have appli- worry about this if you run an uninstall. However, if you do have problems later this is something to go back and check. • Before installing Firebird 2.1 it is recommended that you uninstall a previous version

Firebird uses a page cache to hold pages in memory. It is much quicker to retrieve pages from RAM than to go out onto the disc system and read them physically each time they are required. The following description where to find the data pages for the tables involved in the application’s transactions. All the pages go into the cache and stay there until the cache is completely full. When there’s no place to put the are changed versus the number of times the pages were written to disk. When you see the disk writes go up, you’ve probably reduced the cache too much. Chapter 2. The Firebird Cache 3 Chapter 3. Using

that contain NULL or may resolve to NULL. If you only need a quick reference to refresh your memory, go to the summary at the end of the guide. So — what is it? In SQL, NULL is not a value. It is a state vast majority of cases the results will be correct. In such a situation those rare NULL cases may go unnoticed for a long time, silently corrupting your data. 9.2. CASE expression Firebird introduced adventure games in this table when you decide to add a non- nullable ID field. There are two ways to go about this, both with their own specific problems. 15.1.1. Adding a NOT NULL field This is by far
