I'm sorry. I did as you said, but there have been no posts to
firebird-architect for several days now. Not even mine is showing up
so I am assuming there is a problem with that group. And, I did not
see anything that looked like my request in the New Feature Tracker
List.

I would like to see my suggestion get some airing. Is there a
firebird developer reading who thinks this is a good idea and we
should do it, lousy idea and we should not or somewhere in between.
Here is the feature request again from my earlier posting:

"My request is to add the ability to be able to log on to a server
that
I can see on my network and then choose from a picklist of the
databases that it knows of and log in to that database.

I don't believe that Firebird servers are visible on the network
presently. I don't know how difficult it is to set up that kind of
visibility. Maybe the other part is more difficult than I believe. I
was thinking that, since the server has a list of its aliases in
aliases.conf file, it could export a function that would enumerate
these databases. To me that seems fairly simple.

I am assuming that, once these functions are available, it would not
be difficult for the makers of administration and query tools to take
advantage of them."

Thank you
