I am not familiar with Firebird, but assuming Firebird behaves like other DBMS's, a normal connection should not lock the database, unless you specifically request that in the connection. Most read operations require some locking, and all write operations - so it is more dependant on the queries than the connection.</P><P></P><P>But as I said, <SPAN style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">I am not familiar with Firebird, so I may be wrong</SPAN></P><P></P><P>HTH</P><P>Jonathan</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 09 Feb 2015 06:59:27 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/ODBC-Remote-Connections/m-p/765824#M1032356 jonathandienst 2015-02-09T06:59:27Z Re: ODBC Remote Connections https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/ODBC-Remote-Connections/m-p/765825#M1032357 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Jonathan</P><P></P><P>Thank you for the prompt response, much appreciated.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 09 Feb 2015 07:12:07 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/ODBC-Remote-Connections/m-p/765825#M1032357 Anonymous 2015-02-09T07:12:07Z
