By my observation (so far) the behaviour is the same in both:

-- with Classic, you'll need to log out and then log back in to alter the metadata of an SP or trigger that you have already run in your session. When you do, other users won't see your change if that SP or trigger is in their cache.

-- with SS, you simply can't alter an SP or trigger that is in the shared cache

Perhaps something has changed with the caching in Fb 2 to enforce it. You could inquire on firebird-devel...if necessary, it can be documented.
