        Because of that, testing version are limited only for 5.0.2. FB 6.x currently is NOT tested.
     3. Table 't1' must have more than one row for bug reproducing. Query must be enclosed in execute block.
     4. Custom driver config objects are created here, one with SubQueryConversion = true and second with false.

+    Resultset of cursor that executes using instance of selectable PreparedStatement must be stored
+    in some variable in order to have ability close it EXPLICITLY (before PS will be freed).
+    Otherwise access violation raises during Python GC and pytest hangs at final point (does not return control to OS).
+    This occurs at least for: Python 3.11.2 / pytest: 7.4.4 / firebird.driver: 1.10.6 / Firebird.Qa: 0.19.3
+    The reason of that was explained by Vlad, 26.10.24 17:42 ("oddities when use instances of selective statements").
     
     Checked on 5.0.2.1487-6934878 -- all ok.
     Thanks to dimitr for the advice on implementing the test.
