:ticket:`2504`
+Firebird ``fdb`` and ``kinterbasdb`` set ``retaining=False`` by default
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Both the ``fdb`` and ``kinterbasdb`` DBAPIs support a flag ``retaining=True``
+which can be passed to the ``commit()`` and ``rollback()`` methods of its
+connection. The documented rationale for this flag is so that the DBAPI
+can re-use internal transaction state for subsequent transactions, for the
+purposes of improving performance. However, newer documentation refers
+to analyses of Firebird's "garbage collection" which expresses that this flag
+can have a negative effect on the database's ability to process cleanup
+tasks, and has been reported as *lowering* performance as a result.
+
+It's not clear how this flag is actually usable given this information,
+and as it appears to be only a performance enhancing feature, it now defaults
+to ``False``. The value can be controlled by passing the flag ``retaining=True``
+to the :func:`.create_engine` call. This is a new flag which is added as of
+0.8.2, so applications on 0.8.2 can begin setting this to ``True`` or ``False``
+as desired.

under the ``firebird://`` URL space, as ``fdb`` is now the official
Python driver for Firebird.
-The dialect currently accepts the same arguments as the Kinterbasdb driver.
+Arguments
+----------
+
+The ``fdb`` dialect is based on the :mod:`sqlalchemy.dialects.firebird.kinterbasdb`
+dialect, however does not accept every argument that Kinterbasdb does.
+
+* ``enable_rowcount`` - True by default, setting this to False disables
+ the usage of "cursor.rowcount" with the
+ Kinterbasdb dialect, which SQLAlchemy ordinarily calls upon automatically
+ after any UPDATE or DELETE statement. When disabled, SQLAlchemy's
+ ResultProxy will return -1 for result.rowcount. The rationale here is
+ that Kinterbasdb requires a second round trip to the database when
+ .rowcount is called - since SQLA's resultproxy automatically closes
+ the cursor after a non-result-returning statement, rowcount must be
+ called, if at all, before the result object is returned. Additionally,
+ cursor.rowcount may not return correct results with older versions
+ of Firebird, and setting this flag to False will also cause the
+ SQLAlchemy ORM to ignore its usage. The behavior can also be controlled on a
+ per-execution basis using the ``enable_rowcount`` option with
+ :meth:`.Connection.execution_options`::
+
+ conn = engine.connect().execution_options(enable_rowcount=True)
+ r = conn.execute(stmt)
+ print r.rowcount
+
+* ``retaining`` - False by default. Setting this to True will pass the
+ ``retaining=True`` keyword argument to the ``.commit()`` and ``.rollback()``
+ methods of the DBAPI connection, which can improve performance in some
+ situations, but apparently with significant caveats.
+ Please read the fdb and/or kinterbasdb DBAPI documentation in order to
+ understand the implications of this flag.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 0.8.2 - ``retaining`` keyword argument specifying
+ transaction retaining behavior - in 0.8 it defaults to ``True``
+ for backwards compatibility.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 0.9.0 - the ``retaining`` flag defaults to ``False``.
+ In 0.8 it defaulted to ``True``.
+
+ .. seealso::
