With Firebird, you can't use the DB_name in the statements. Your
statement should be:
select * from Table_name

And, how is the query generated. All I found in VisualFOX
documentation on MSDN, was a reference that the DB_name is used if you
want the query to use a non-current database. So, I would suggest not
to try to do cross-database queries.
