IIRC Mass insertion could bring down the db (slow to an effective DOS to
other users) unless you commit the transaction every 10000 items or so.
Yep, we definitely saw that. We ended up going a little insane with
committing transaction (bad original design relied on keeping
transactions open slightly too often.) Even so, the Delphi controls we
used (Delphi 5, whatever the latest IBExpress Borland shipped) were
appalingly buggy wrt transactional stuff. I always liked the other ones,
IBObjects, personally - even if they were quite odd. IBExpress could not
handle the server disconnecting - totally unrecoverable. IBO did handle
it quite well.
