We're talking about server threads, right, not client threads? Honestly,
this is the strangest thing I've ever heard, I think. You might want to ask
your IBM contact how is this normally handled in other ODBC client
applications. If she can provide some code examples for other languages, it
might be a helpful start. But really, this sounds like something that should
be handled by either the server itself, or the database client layer
provided by IBM.

I wouldn't limit the search to something like that - any other high-level
ODBC client (like ASP) should provide good examples.
