We encounter that the same select statement fired within our embedded SQL Application lasts 20 time compared to the statement entered into IBOconsole (which uses dynamic SQL I assume).
When an explicit PLAN is given - the one which IBOconsole showed me - the performance gets still more badly.

Is there a known issue about this effect? I thought both application using the same firebird server should show up the same performance on identical select statements.

Any hits?
Better to post this message to firebird-devel?

Environment: Firebird 1.5.0.4201 on Windows NT 2000
I can pack a small example which will show up this behavior. Only problem may be the data set which is 17 MBytes.

As there is no performance monitor within firebird server I used Filemon from sysinternals to count the number of disk-I/Os. And this led to the number 20 time.
