Just a small tip use aliases when you are connecting to a database
that will make the deployement of your application much smoother, for
an example if you have to change the path to the database by some
reason then just edit aliases.conf and you are up and running again.

In you firebird installation directory create (if it doesnt exsits)
the file "aliases.conf"

C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\aliases.conf

then just add an entry to it like this.

CSM = E:\Data\celsus_ms.fdb

when you are done, you can test your new alias with

C:\Program Files\Firebird_1_5\bin\isql 192.168.135.209:CSM -u sysdba
-p masterkey
