Improved multi threading support

  • The overall performance is now better as more features are threaded and interruptible.
  • Multiple physical database connections is now supported in addition to the shared single database connection. This mean that every SQL editor will have its own physical connection with the database server. The setting of auto commit and transaction control is now on a per editor basis instead of shared for all SQL editors.
