That makes sense. Looks like we'll have to roll back to FB2.0 as we
have something like 50+ applications to migrate from the BDE and this
may take several months.

The particular application that caused this error can temporarily be
altered so that the alias names are not used for non-joined queries.

Is there no way that the new connection parameters can use sensible
defaults which enable compatibility with the BDE drivers?
