More New IB 7.5 Performance Monitoring Features

I gave my session on InterBase Performance Monitoring this morning. I was pleasantly surprised to see good attendance in spite of the fact that my session was concurrent with Allen Bauer’s "what’s new in Delphi" presentation.

In addition to the features I mentioned yesterday, IB 7.5 introduces three new server maintenance functions accessible through simple UPDATE statements against the TMP$DATABASE table (or via buttons in my free IB Performance Monitor GUI application).

You can now:

  • Flush the disk write cache.
  • Reclaim memory by compacting the heap and discarding unused procedure and trigger clones.
  • Start the sweep thread.

…via the performance monitoring features.

In addition, the GUI app has been significantly updated by me and by Andreano Lanusse of Borland Brazil. It now features the ability to save the displayed data in several different file formats, show additional columns, hide internal queries and other data resulting from the Performance Monitor app itself, and much more. I’ll try and release a public beta soon — it delivers enhancements for users of IB 7.0 and 7.1, not just 7.5.
