How to check in which server mode (e.g. SuperClassic or Superserver) a Firebird database is running?

The latest Firebird 2.5.x database can run in either Classic, SuperClassic, or SuperServer mode. How can I check in which of these modes an installed database is running?

Solution

  • There's no API that exposes this. But because you're on a server, you can check what process is running.

    I.e. on Windows and Firebird 2.5:

    • One fb_inet_server.exe = very likely SuperClassic
    • Multiple fb_inet_server.exe = very likely Classic
    • fbserver.exe = very likely SuperServer
