You can only get users logged in into a specific database
by using the Services API.

Firebird doesn't have registered databases on the server
side. It does have the "aliasses.conf" file, but as far as I
know, you cannot retrieve the list from the client.

by issueing:
select * from rdb$relations where rdb$view_blr is null
and rdb$system_flag is null or rdb$system_flag = 0

See rdb$relation_fields
