Disabling database triggers in FirebirdClient (.Net)
Via Jiří {x2} Činčura blog:
Database triggers are a nice new feature added to Firebird in version 2.1. And as you can do a lot of stuff with them, sometimes you also might wanna to connect without firing these, especially if you made a mistake there and it’s forcibly closing your connection. 
To disable these, standard Firebird utilities have a new switches. But it boils down to the API itself, nothing magical.
And if it’s in API, it could be FirebirdClient, right? In last few days among working on other bugs and my daily responsibilities I had a time to dig into this. And now also from .NET world we can use this feature.
