As I conclusion one could say. Please correct me if I'm wrong ;-).

- If Firebird *let* you connect, then regarding different connection strings,
no corruption will happen.

- InterBase only corrupt the database if the path to the database and not
the entirely *connection string* is different. Your above example will
corrupt the database, but mixing local with remote connections using
exactly the same database path will not.
