Hi,
I think that FileStore is good for the majority of the situations and with
better performance than databases. But, anyone who intends to use it, should
be aware that due to current implementation there is a limitation in the
number of sessions QuickFIX can open when using FileStore.
The maximum number of sessions I could create with QF using FileStore was 80
sessions (Windows 2003).
The reason for this is that QuickFIX opens 4 files in exclusive mode for
each session:
.body
.header
.seqnums
.session
Certainly, there is a way to increase this number, I guess that maybe
modifying an operating system variable to increase the number of available
File Handles.
By the way, does anyone knows how to do it in Windows?
Anyway, I think that more sessions can be created with MySQL or PostgreSQL,
although, I did not test it yet, but I saw in the source code that there is
a connection pool implemented for both classes and I guess this should help
a lot.
Does anyone have experience with maximum number of sessions that can be
created using these databases?
Regards,
Djalma
