I just started using firebird and I have installed version 1.5 RC9
(Linux).

I created a database and one table in it.

If I start isql, connect to the database and then perform a simple
select on the table I can no longer drop this table. I get 'object
TABLE1 is in use' error. However if I restart isql and reconnect to
the dabatase I can now drop the table (again, as long as I did not
select from it). Is this normal?

Thanks,
Avi
