It's SS, you are right, it's version 6.0. BDE is latest version get from
Borland, and new gds32.dll liblary. All application uses one alias without
any caching (schema etc.), with one session and database. In one moment I
think max 10 users uses database. From time to time, for example, interbase
don't release connections, and after server reboot there's no data modified
in this connections (computers from which this connections was made was
right disconnected)

Most usual error massage in interbase.log is:

xxxxx.pl (Server) Fri Dec 7 13:58:41 2001
gds__alloc: memory pool corrupted

I wanted to change to firebird but We waiting for last release (after
testing RC1 we have many troubles).

Of course, but most of them. If I want to change db layer to for example
IBO, I think that I have change all database components (grids, combos
etc). It's big work in the middle of supporting clients with current
version. But of course we think about this. Do You suggest to change it as
soos as is possible?

Thanks for help
