Hi all,
I do not know if this has been asked before, but what interests me is

How do I connect to a firebird database in a way to force to be the only
connection to that database.
I need this for making patches to my database and not see "Object is in
use" when I issue an alter table or so.

If there is such a possibility please tell me how or instruct me to some
source of documentation.

Thank you.

Cosmo.
