[DUG] Firebird transactions

Once upon a time, RDBMS performance was assessed in terms of MILLIONS of
transactions per second (tho these benchmarks have since fallen out of
favour I think), but in any event, 5 per second really shouldn't be
stretching any modern RDBMS at all I wouldn't think.

But, I guess it depends on what those transactions consist of.

Dealing with a timing issue involving Firebird, probably the cause is a slow

workstation running the processing program.

The workstation occasionally sends a burst of transactions, each involving 
adding new records to the same two tables.  I presume Firebird can handle 
this

The server is a FAST quad core Windows 2003 server running Firebird 2.0 - it

should handle a burst of transactions at up to 5 per second for up to 20 or 
30 seconds?
