Since IB5 there is a new connection parameter:

isc_dpb_set_page_buffers

which takes a 4 byte value (this is used by IB_SQL against the "Page
Buffers" option of the connection tab).

I dont know if this is supposed to replace the old isc_dpb_num_buffers
(1 byte) value, or if it is suppose to define the database specific
value (as opposed to the attachment value). I do know that you cannot
read a response using that parameter, indeed I cannot even tell if it
works to set any value.

If you can put the comments so far into something coherent for the
IB_Support list it would be appreciated.
