I agree. In 6.5 you have to call it from another thread.

I would prefer an option for synchronous or asynchronous - is sync, then I
would like a callback that in delphi would look like

procedure executeProgress( const ServerCPUTimeOnYourQuery : TDateTime; var
abort : boolean);

Then you could show something to the user and on repeated execution give an
indication of progress e.g. progress := ServerCPUTimeOnYourQuery /
averageCPUfromPreviousExecutions

Anyway to execute async / callback gds32.dll is going to have to be
threadsafe internally inside the context of a connection.
