Hi,

I am using trying to import data into firebird tables using external
files. For this I have created a table linked to an external file. This
file is populated by my .net application. After the file gets populated
with data, I fire a procedure which does an "insert into select from
external table to my main table". In the next step I am trying to
overwrite the file with new set of data, but I get an error stating file
is used by another process. On investigating further I figured out that
once I read from the external table the file is locked by firebird and
is not released unless I restart the database server. This is checked by
firing a select statement on the external table and then trying to
modify the file externally. It doesn't allow. Please let me know if
there is any solution to this problem. I am looking for any firebird
statements that can used to release the file from linking with table
after a select is done.
