There must be some bugs in driver too. I have committed a test case
to CVS (org.firebirdsql.jdbc.TestDDL) that reproduces this issue. For
some reasons I am able to drop tables if connection is in autocommit
mode, but not if connection uses commit explicitly. Since we do not
use any specifics in DPB, I think there is something in driver.

Best regards,
