Hi Roman!

Actually.. if you read what you wrote here (and yes that´s not the
release notes my bad):
http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=devel&sub=jdbc
it states that
"Now you can use gds32.dll/libgds.so, fbclient.dll/libfbclient.so and
fbembed.dll/libfbembed.so (requires native library, available as
separate package). It allows you to
connect locally when the application runs on localhost
use embedded version of the engine
use the driver with InterBase 5.x, 6.5, 7.0."

That´s why I got really excited and tried to switch from Interclient
(I have used jaybird for Firebird and was really impressed).

regards,

Andreas W.
