Declaration
Procedure FlushSchemaCache;

Description
Use this method if an alteration to the database's metadata structure was executed through a non-DSQL means.

This means all ways except using a IB_DSQL or other query component and calling ExecSQL. For example, if you use the ExecuteImmediate() method or execute an IB_Script, then this method will need to be called in order to make sure that the internal schema cache will accurately reflect the new changes.

When executing DDL statements through an IB_DSQL or other dataset component IBO prepares the statement individually and can know that it is a DDL type statement and take appropriate action automatically.

If the SchemaCacheDir is being used then for the time being it is necessary to delete those files manually. I will be improving this in a version to come.
