Wireless coverage is spotty, but I have a good connection now, so I’ll take advantage of it. Quinn Wildman recruited me to give a short presentation on InterBase Performance Monitor to his "Introduction to InterBase, Part 2" preconference this afternoon. I showed the first public preview of the new version of Performance Monitor, which includes support for new performance monitoring features in the upcoming 7.5 release of InterBase.
InterBase 7.5 adds two new monioring tables to the seven already available in older versions of IB 7. For those unfamiliar with this feature, it allows you to see ingreat detail what’s happening inside of an active InterBase server and what your users are doing, and to take control if necessary. All of this is accomplished by simple sQL statements, though you can use my GUI app if you prefer. The two new tables allow you to see details of triggers in use by the server, as well as a very low-level view of how InterBase is using server memory.
In addition, the database performance monitoring table adds features which allow you to flush the write cache, release server memory, and trigger the sweep via UPDATE statements (or viabuttons on the GUI application.
David I has started the opening keynote address now, so I’ll stop typing and listen.
