Just in some moderate testing, I noticed the "Next Attachment ID" in gstat jumping by over 100 when I test. Generally, the code will run for weeks at a time and not reload this data, but I think it's reasonable the way I have done this to have 500 or so handles open to the DB at a time. BTW, the DB Handle is the IBPP:Database object.

Sorry, but having 500 database connections just to please your
application OO design doesn't look reasonable at all ;-)

Connections are more or less cheap for SuperServer but extremely
expensive for Classic.

Also, as soon as the "Next Attachment ID" counter would reach 2^31,
you'll have to backup/restore your database in order to operate further.
