Thanks a lot for fixing the problem.
I can be able to connect an .fdb file with unicode characters in the
connection string now, with the use of Jaybird 2.1.0 RC1.

By the way, I've faced another problem in the new Jaybird version.
In the connection string, I've tried to set the charSet property to
UTF-8 as usual.
An exception is thrown:

org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException: GDS Exception. 335544325. bad
parameters on attach or create database CHARACTER SET UTF8 is not

------------------------------------------------------

It works when I was using Jaybird 2 earlier builds with the same
Firebird version.
Is there changes made in setting the character set?
Or is there some other ways that can help to overcome this problem?

Thanks a lot.
