I would like to know if I connect Qlikview to a Firebird database via an ODBC using a remote connection, will this prevent other users from accessing the database....locking the database exclusively???
This is a Firebird question, rather than a QV one. 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.
But as I said, I am not familiar with Firebird, so I may be wrong
