My app load data from a plane file with comma delimitted data and insert into DDBB every 15 minutes. It's work fine but another app developed with .NET and ODBC doing the same, grows the BBDD up 60%. I know that with backup-restore it turn to normal size but the problem is that can't do that every day. Can tell me how solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

If backup+restore reduces the database size significantly, I believe this is because of "old record versions". These are not created by loading data (insert), but from updating and deleting. So, something else (apart from loading data) is happening to your database. Do check the inner workings in the "another app". Updating/deleting records together with suboptimal transaction management could be part of the problem. -- Aage J.

This has to do with updated and deletes. Firebird database files up to version 2.0.1 grow when you insert data or do updates that require more space and there is none available in the database file. OTOH deleting and updating that eliminates data does not make Firebird recover the space in the file. This would require to reorganize the database file, which is far too costly. Having your database file growing has almost no impact on performance. It seems your .NET app is doing a lot of deletes and updates. I can not give you more specific details. You could subscribe to the firebird-support mailing list. There are some firebird gurus in there that can give you more information on this. -- Best regards :-) Guillem Vicens Meier Dep.
