Adriano, calling something "abstract bullshit" is not a particularly compelling 
technical argument.  If you want to add something constructive to the 
discussion, why don't you tackle my points one by one?

The code is irrelevant; the interface has to live forever.  You are promoting 
an interface that is not efficient, incompatible with all existing 
applications, is alien to standard industry usage, doesn't advance the state of 
the art, don't follow accepted industry standards, and will not attract new 
developers to Firebird.  It is, from all appearances, something the crawled out 
of the primordial ooze of a really bad idea that the client API should be the 
same as the plugin API.

Technical issues can, in fact, be discussed with more depth than "+1".  In 
fact, everything in engineering is a tradeoff, and tradeoffs can be reasonably 
balanced and discussed.  But dismissing something that you don't agree with as 
"abstract bullshit" is never warranted.
