Wait...that's what I missed! The type 2 driver in client/server mode.
I only thought about the embedded mode...

So we have here three different types of connection:
- jdbc:firebirdsql://... it's the type 4 driver;
- jdbc:firebirdsql:native:... it's the type 2 driver connecting to a
server;
- jdbc:firebirdsql:native_embedded:... it's the type 2 driver which
usese the embedded server.

I will then wait for your commits :)

Thanks for the explanation...

BTW, has anyone an idea to why the cvs on sourceforge is failing so
often: it happens that I must try many times before I can update the
sources. When it fails I get something like "EOF from the server"...
Are they overloaded?

Ciao
