I am a new user of Firebird and am having trouble connecting with the
example database, employee.fdb.

I am currently trying Firebird in application mode, but get the same
problem in server mode. I am running Firebird on the same computer I
am trying to connect the database to. I get the following error;

SQL> CONNECT "C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5
\examples\firebird.fdb"
CON> user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterkey';
Command error: CONNECT "C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5
\examples\firebird.fdb"
user:'SYSDBA'password'masterkey'
