Dear Team ,

I opened two isql.exe prompt (let us assume name
'one' and 'two' repectively for those prompts.). Then
via 'One' I created a Table 'A'. Then in same prompt
'one', I created table 'B' with FK to Table 'A'. But
it has thrown meta data error.
Since in prompt 'two' I don't have did any operation
pertaining to table 'A' or 'B'. (not even select
query) I thought there is no 'interseting' tansaction
related to object of 'A' or 'B' , I expected there
won't be any error. But I got a meta data error in
prompt 'one'. When I exit prompt 'two' (i.e. when i
used only one connection via prompt 'one'). Table B
has got created sucessfully.

So I hope there is no relation to jay bird in this
error.
