Yes, after creating a connection I was only able to send one query; so 
for each query I created a new
connection (and closed the connection after reading the result), which 
works ok in my application.
Maybe I there's a better way, but I couldn't find out.

I'm no expert in data mining, but I always prefer processing the data in 
smalltalk/squeak.
What amount of data are you going to explore?

Couldn't you convince the programmer to work with Dolphin Smalltalk 
instead of Delphi? ;-)
