Hi,

Not exactly what the IB6 op. manual says:

"At the end of the timeout period, if there are still active connections,
Interbase rolls back any uncommitted transactions, disconnects any users,
and shuts down the database."

AFAIU Firebird will *disconnect* any users and *rollback* any pending
transactions.

Well, from my experience this is exactly how it works, at least with SS but
not with CS (on v1.5)
