+   there are 3 ways to use firebird:
+   a) superserver 
+    - one process, one thread for each connection
+   b) classic 
+    - is built by default
+    - one process for each connection
+    - on linux direct io operations (?)
+   c) embedded.
+
+   manual says that you usually don't notice the difference between a and b.
+
+   I'm only interested in the embedder shared libary for now.
+   So everything isn't tested yet
