The later makes little or no sense. Something we agree on Pierre. The first piece of the jigsaw IS to make everything thread safe. And perhaps link to internally threaded functions such as asynchronous queries. Then a discussion about user land multi-threading may make more sense, but I think Rasmus has stated the case quite succinctly as to why that does not make sense ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
