🦋 FBSTAT(1) — the Firebird database analyzer, bestie edition 🦋

okay so before we even get into it: this is a Firebird documentation page, and we're talking about fbstat. Pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

fbstat — analyze firebird database 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fbstat [command] [option...] [server:]database
fbstat -h server:db
fbstat -all server:db
fbstat -data server:db

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

(Note: Due to file-level conflict, the Debian package has changed the name of gstat to fbstat.)

So fbstat analyzes Firebird databases and produces different kinds of reports, no cap. 🎀 These reports are literally the moment when you're sitting there like "where did all this huge disk space go 😭" or when you're estimating/evaluating index efficiency. It's giving detective energy. It's giving receipts. 👑

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -all — Analyze data and index pages. everything, go off. 🔥
  • -data — Analyze data pages. just the data pages, bestie.
  • -system — Analyze system tables. peeking behind the curtain 🫣
  • -header — Display information from the database header, and skip analyzing any tables. header only, we're not doing the whole thing.
  • -index — Analyze leaf index pages. 🍃
  • -record — Analyze average record and version length. math girlies rise 🙈
  • -table table — Analyze data pages used by the given table. one table, main character energy.
  • -nocreation — Suppress creation date. no birthday for you 🎂🚫
  • -user name / -password secret / -fetch_password file — Authentication parameters. your lil login vibe check 💜
  • -z, -? — Displays version number.
