This is probably what Ryan would like to check.

Where do you set it? In JDBC URL this is "local", in
FBConnectionPoolDataSource it is "LOCAL".

Then most likely this has something to do with fbclient.dll. From
driver perspective they are the same (difference is only in preparing
database URL and library to load).

BTW, what happens if you use it in type 2 (native) mode?
