Do you mean this :

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

To use the new InterBase 6 Dialect 3 features, add an entry
to your Windows registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Borland\Database Engine\Settings
\Drivers\Intrbase\Db Open\SQLDIALECT
and set the value to "3".

When an InterBase alias is created, the new entry will be
available in the .CFG file.

To use InterBase 5.6, SQLDIALECT can be set to "1" (existing
IB aliases which do not have the SQLDIALECT entry default to
SQLDIALECT=1 or to the registry setting when the SQLDIALECT
entry is added to the registry).
