Re: [Firebird-odbc-devel] Safe thread?

[Kjell R. <kje...@da...>]

OK, so what it means is that with "Safe thread" off, I can't even use 
one connection per thread? I was under the impression that fbclient *is* 
thread safe provided you use seperate connection(s) for each thread. Is 
this incorrect?

Thanks,
Kjell
