Ich sag mal es gibt schnellere Protokolle als das, das Firebird nutzt. Aus der offiziellen Firebird FAQ
Zitat:
Firebird has a rather heavy network protocol (a lot of chit-chat), so it isn't really comfortable to work accross the Internet. You can use some tunneling software like ZeBeDee,
SSH or SSL to encrypt and compress the data, but latency is the main problem as a lot of messages go back and forth (and transfering a lot of small messages over Internet is much slower than one big message).
For this reason it's better to use some middleware or serve the content as web pages (if applicable to your requirements) or use some kind of
SOAP.
Please note that Firebird 2.1 has significant improvements to the network protocol (less communication for the same queries), so make sure you use at least 2.1 if you want work over Internet or other slow link.
