I think you mis-understand. When User A logs in, a record is created that
says "User A with Session ID 123 wants to look at Company As Data".

The View would then look up the current Session ID to find out what records
the User is interested in. It is not security, but a way of selecting
records. For Example:

Create View CompanyData (DataKey, Data) as
select D.Datakey, D.Data from Data D join SessionTable ST on ST.CompanyID
= D.CompanyID where ST.user_id = Current_User and ST.Session_ID =
Current_Session;

My problem is how to get the Current_Session, Firebird must have something
similar internally, but i need access to it. Or at least some way to
duplicate it?
