Thanks Adam for the advice Ill look into this idea. I am still
concerned about the Firebird server process locking up. I hope someone
else can either confirm or deny this. I am hoping it is bad coding on
our part thats causing it. I might even try making a mini side project
to test it out as I am relaying this information from our development
team and my observations of the work they are doing.
