Most of addRef/release in firebird are done using smart pointers.
Therefore this is not a problem.

What about users code - if user is not going to use an object in complex
MT environment he need not care about reference counters at all. May be
you did not pay attention, but detach, commit and all other calls,
closing handle, perform release automatically on successful completion.

In MT environment existing inside exported object reference counters
will just help to minimize user code - remember your own words that if
someone needs MT safety he will have to completely implement logic
himself without reference counters?

Answered in other thread.
