Rajesh, what do you mean user connects? Really connects or perform
first statement? If second, what UDFs do you use? Usually source of
memory leaks on server is UDF which don't free used memory or use
malloc not from ib_util and FREE_IT directive. You mentioned thin
client (I'm not familiar with DBExpress), is'nt application server
resident on the same machine and if so can't it buffer large results
or forget to free memory? Are datasets on application server
unidirectional? In general - don't knowing what your program do we
can't help.

Personally I - more than 6 Gb with about 30 simultaneosly connected
users.
