Hello,

I have a suggestion to enhance the quick start guide. The chapter
"Connecting to the sample database" contains a connection example that
will not work.

SQL>CONNECT "C:\Program
Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\examples\employee.fdb"#
CON>user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterkey';#

After searching this list, I found out that since 1.5 the servername
is always required so at least the localhost: prefix is needed in
front of the DB name. The above statement will simply issue a
"database unavailable" error right after installation (or am I missing
something?) which is quite confusing when you are sure the database
exists.

I'm referring to this post:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/50955

So I would suggest to change the above example to include the
servername (localhost:) so that newbies like me don't need to search
the internet for hours on how to connect to the sample database :)

Cheers
Thomas
