Hi Stefan,
1.0.x Classic on Linux. So for that one (and for pre-IB6 servers)
you'd have to check if the error message returned is the same as when
there is no Firebird server at all. And if it is, resort to
isc_add_user for those situations. But I wouldn't take the shortcut of
going to isc_add_user straight away; it's deprecated, so it may
disappear at some point in the future.
Good luck,
Paul Vinkenoog
