Signature of execute in firebird.pas is:
"
function execute(status: IStatus; transaction: ITransaction; inMetadata:
IMessageMetadata; inBuffer: Pointer; outMetadata: IMessageMetadata;
outBuffer: Pointer): ITransaction;
"
A value for outMetadata probably is available by
IStatement.getOutputMetadata(). What if one wants to use
IAttachment.execute() where no IStatement is available?

How can one know if IAttachment.execute() or IAttachment.openCursor() must be
called without having IStatement.getFlags() from a prepared statement other
than parsing the SQL statement in user code?

Does IAttachment.prepare() involve a server roundtrip?

Thanks for your patience.
