Well, this question is about an existing and very successfull
application concerning a Distributed Database, which tables are
simultaneily in different SQL Servers.
In this situation, it has been necessary the application to pass a
kind of "inoffensive" string to the database server, so we can decide
some actions in a trigger depending on that string value, as I've
been doing with SQL Server, through string connection parameters.
I haven't yet gived up to do it with FireBird ...
