No. There are two "namespaces" USER_SESSION and USER_TRANSACTION which also define the visibility of context variable values.

Check out: http://www.firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd25-intfunc-set_context.html

Maybe I'm confused, but I think Virgo is asking about two different connections using the same

user credentials, not a an application server with a single connection to the database and multiple

connections from the client to the application.  Different connections have different USER_SESSION

namespaces even if they use the same user credentials, I think.
