Running commands on Firebird in background and canceling
The soon to be released Firebird 2.5 has a new ability to cancel running command (or any operation currently being processed by server) via API (in 2.1 you can do it via monitoring tables). This is a nice feature, interesting not only for database administration tools.
I was working on supporting it for a while in .NET provider, but I’m happy to say that it’s done (though I may tune the boundaries based on feedback).
