Why doesn't Firebird support querying the server for databases? What
I mean is that, in MSSQL, if I can find a server on the network, I can
log into it and then access any database for which I have rights. It
seems like the Firebird server is almost there since we can now attach
to a server and then access any database on it if I know its alias.
So it would seem that all that is required would be to have a function
to return the list of aliases to a client. Am I being a little naive
about how difficult this would be to implement?
