I have consultet the API guide. If I did understand you correctly, the error
message i got ("The insert, update, delete, ddl or authorization statement
cannot be executed because the transaction is inquiry only") were invalid in
the context of my specific problem. I got the error message by calling
"isc_sqlcode" and "isc_sql_interprete". (isc_sqlcode returned -817).

I then tried to use "isc_interprete" instead. This returned the following
three error messsages:

"Dynamic SQL Error"
"SQL error code = -817"
"Metadata update statement is not allowed by the current database SQL
dialect 1"

Now this error message fits my problem but shouldn't
"isc_sql_interprete(-817)" also return a valid error message like "Metadata
update statement is not allowed by the current database SQL dialect 1"?

Thanks again for your help.
