In FlameRobin 0.9.1.1811 Unicode for Win32 I just tried this on a UTF8
database with ODS 11.1 and no other connections:

<connect - OK>

create table A (B int);
<execute - OK>
<commit - OK>

select * from A;
<execute - OK>
<commit - OK>

drop table A;
<execute - OK>
<commit - error>

*** IBPP::SQLException ***
Context: Transaction::Commit

SQL Message : -607
This operation is not defined for system tables.

Engine Code : 335544351
Engine Message :
unsuccessful metadata update
object A is in use

<disconnect - OK>
<connect - OK>
drop table A;
<execute - OK>
<commit - OK>

So, can anyone explain if this is 1) a bug or 2) as designed and if it's
as deigned 3) why and 4) how to avoid it or solve it without a disconnect?

I guess the "problem" (if it *is* a problem) can come from FB, IBPP or FR.

Thanks,
Kjell
