Well starting with a pre-production copy of Firebird was probably not a
good idea, back porting the data will be difficult, but may be necessary
in the short term. It would be nice to know hoe FB1.5 performs!

Try starting your own transaction after starting the connection and
close it at the end. The default stuff seems a little less than robust,
and you can set your own settings.

Also - have you disabled sweep - not sure on FB2, but on FB1.5 running
that 'out of hours' prevents it kicking off just when a big update
startes ;)
