Hi Pavel,

The connection to the DB is fast, it's only the first time
the "Query.Open" statement is executed. The next 10 or 20 times I
open the query, it's always fast. I know this is not the right list
to ask, but is it possible with FIBPlus to load the metadata at
startup of the application ?

Thanks again !

Nico
