Which version of Firebird - Classic or SuperServer?

How does the Firebird driver handle connections, transactions and preparation of statements.

For this sort of test Firebird would look a lot better if
a) the connection persists
b) Commit Retaining is used for the Select queries
c) The Select query is prepared once before execution.

I'm not familiar with AdoDB so I don't know how much is generic to all supported databases and how much is driver specific. If it is a well designed middleware layer it will allow the driver developer to surface all the above functionality. Whether the driver developer has implemented it all is another matter.
