You get a nice exception when you try to load a different library than the one that is alread loaded. But if I want to make an app that works with embedded firebird or firebird client (user selectable at any time) that have completely different settings (user, password, database, etc), what is I wrong with creating 2 instances in the OI and connect only one at the time? You can't be connected the 2 at the same time but that is a run-time issue, not design time.

Current implementation will load library when the first connection becomes active) 3) when using multiple db backends (FB + postgres for example) the instances pick up the correct library > Patches welcome :-) > ROFLMAO No comment.
