Re: [Firebird-devel] Embedded superserver

Sean,

S> That functionality is know as a "full engine"

Sure. What I need is a "full engine" built as a dynamic library. If it
had the functionality of fbembed as well, that would be a bonus and a
performance boos for "internal" requests, but it's not mandatory.

I'll put it another way: I need to augment the firebird server and I
need to deploy, if possible, a single server process. If my clients
didn't need to talk to the Firebird server through TCP/IP I would go
with embedded and wouldn't mind, but unfortunately that's not the
case.

Currently I have two processes (mine and fbserver.exe) that I need to
keep synchronized (in terms of startup and shutdown, mainly), which is
getting difficult without a third process acting as a "guardian". The
only advantage of my current solution/workaround is that, since it's
made up of two processes, is more SMP-friendly. :-)

So you can see it from several different POVs, but the technical
details stay the same, I believe.

I'm curious to know what core devels like Dmitry or Nickolay think
about Jim's 6 months estimate...
