See my slightly earlier message.

No, it's not a Firebird parameter. It must be a setting in the Java driver.

If the database doesn't get created here, it's a different problem. Using
'quit' to exit from isql will cause work to be rolled back if you don't
have SET AUTODDL ON. Use Exit unless you want to roll back uncommitted
work when leaving isql.

Your UDF problem has the hallmarks of a homing problem. Did you use the
installer to install Firebird, or did you just unzip the zip file?
