Hi All,

Could someone help me, please, to understand exactly when new processes
start and old processes die when we use FB Classic 1.5.2 for Windows.

We did a small experiment--we wrote a small .NET application using
DataAdapters. It opens a connection to FB and closes it. A new FB
process starts, but it does not die when the connection closes. It dies
when the *application* closes.

So, there is one FB process in Windows per *application*. Is there some
way that an application can make the FB process die whilst it continues
to run itself? I mean, can an application close the FB process
programmatically?

Many thanks,

Ian.
