Unless Firebird is not changed to accept general connections to the server,
not only to the database, it will be the only way to create database from
JayBird. JayBird JCA/JDBC driver is not an SQL interpreter that would parse
and process some SQL internally and some will send to the server, but it is
simply a JDBC driver that converts Firebird's interface into JDBC-compatible
one.

I do not have anything against a component that sits on top of JayBird,
emulates JDBC interfaces (and in fact acts as a driver) and does the job
described above. Just let's keep things separated. This component can have
fully fledged command processor, probably compatible to the isql commands,
but also capable of, for example, doing backups, etc.

Any takers?
