Assuming you installed to the default drive C: and assuming there was no
previous installation of Firebird or InterBase (leaving behind gds32.dll in
the windows\system32 directory), try this:

C:> ISQL -u sysdba -password masterkey

SQL> CONNECT
servername:c:/progra~1/firebird/firebird_1_5/examples/employee.fdb;


"servername" should be replaced with either "localhost" or the name of your
server, of course. After sucessful connect, you should get a line that starts
with "Database: " and lists the database you just connected to along with the
username connected with.
