Tanz,

T> I need to extract metadata in client machines "isql -x mbsbirdy.fdb

isql links to fbclient.dll, so if you rename fbembed.dll to
fbclient.dll isql will be perfectly happy to connect. Of course before
you try you should close any other embedded connection to the same
database: you can connect to an embedded database from one process at
a time.

It is. It does not check passwords, but it checks user names and role
names and in any case both username and pw are mandatory. Just use
SYSDBA/whatever.
