This is needed for firebird specifically to support also embedded access to databases. Embedded access provides much (up to 3 times) better performance when a huge data should be extracted from database - this is very useful for some complex statistical analysis as an example. Note that fb_lock_mgr is for Firebird 2.1.x, in the last major version (Firebird 2.5), there is no more fb_lock_mgr. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
