> I am using Firebird 2.5.1 embedded on a Windows 7 machine. Due to its superclassic architecture, it is normally possible to have many simultaneous connections from different applications to the same database.

If this is a mix of embedded and regular server connections, then be
aware that you can't mix 32-bit and 64-bit embedded and regular server
connections to the same database.
