I have been frustrated with JDBC too.

1) Using Borland InterClient, it does not work with Firebird RC1
database.

2) Using Firebird-Built Interclient, it does not work with Borland
InterServer

3) Using Firbird jdbc 4 driver, it does work with dataSource for both
databases, but not with any database pooling such as the open source
one from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/poolman/

I really would like to use Firebird, but right now I have to stick to
Borland one because of the JDBC.

If any solution was found, it would be great!
