If in case when firebird DB engine has a key to decrypt database there 
can't be additional sessions with generic SQL access (i.e. only your 
task can work with database) - yes, there is no need to kill sources. If 
additional sessions are possible - sources can be accessed. I.e. it 
depends upon what crypt (and key store plugins) are used.
