I don't know about theory, but my experience shows that Firebird keeps
running the query. Sometimes my users run a query like that, and when
they see it isn't responding, they try to run it again, and the server
gets stuck for a long time, so I just have to kill those ibserver
processes. (I use Linux, Apache, PHP)
