The character set of the database is iso8859_1
The java client is set to 8859_1 as well.

old ODS: FB 1.0
(is it 10? But we always used old gbak to backup and new gbak to
restore)
dialect: 1
character set: iso8859_1

But what I just found out is that InterClient still seems to use some
old stuff in the "old" /opt/interbase directory!
When I delete these files InterClient refuses to work.
This directory seems to be hard coded because there is no config
telling him where to look for this stuff!?
And because another instance of gds_lock_mgr is startet I am not
surprised to get a corrupted database.

I think I really have to update our java app to use JayBird.
Hopefully not so much work.
