[Firebird-net-provider] garbage collecting

[Pavol S. <pa...@st...>]

hi,

this is not bug report, its just question...

why you have there in FbConnectonPoll.CleanUp CG.Collect??? every where 
i was looking for this is said, that GC know best when to collect and 
so... (exact criteria are guarded by microsoft :)

i think, that you have to force garbage collection only in case, that 
you have to dispose expensive resources and i think, that it is better 
to call dispose and make object not reincarnable...

just question for discussion not bug...

p.

Yes i know that this is not really needed, it's only for being sure that 
all is going well with garbage collection :)

I have made some tests to the firebird .net provider without 
GC.Collect() Call using the as3ap bechmark with the 40 mb data ( that 
gives then 10 users simulation in multiuser mode ) and all seems to work 
well and memory used is aproximately the same than without it, i have 
removed this call and commit the changes to the CVS

At this moment yes i'm alone :), but there are a guy ( Tom Antony ) that 
contribute the source code of isc_database_info method of the gds, and i 
need to give great thanks to people that report the errors that they found.

There are some things that i can make like see if i can make the 
implementation FbPermission and FbPermissionAttribute, but there really 
little information on how this classes need to work and i'm not sure 
that they are really needed at all, and try to add support to array 
fields but for this i need to see Firebird sources and this will get 
lots of time to me since i have a limited knowledge of C/C++.


> How many people is in mailing list??? 

I don't know but i can try to ask it to one of the list admins to see if 
he can say the number to us.

> And how many people is using your provider???

For this i only can tell the number of downloads that are reflected in 
Sourceforge project page:
