Firebird 1.5.3: How to add FK with connected users to the DB?

Question
I use FB1.5.3 and need to eventually add some FK to the database. It happens that if I try to do it while anyone else is connected to the DB I get an exception.
Is there a way to add an FK while the system is running?
Solution
There's no way.
It's a known limitation that has been removed in Firebird 2.0. You should either upgrade, or live with it.
OTHER TIPS
I believe this is a limitation on firebird 1.5 and earlier.
Try google for (firebird foreign key "object is in use").
