I would like to do something like:
/opt/firebird/bin/isql -q -user sysdba -password masterkey CREATE
DATABASE "127.0.0.1:/work/working.gdb"

I am trying to work with the database stored in the tmpfs (kind of RAM
disk), so I have to create the database every time the system is
started. Because of that I am trying to find the way to create the
database using the shell script (command line command??). Yes, of
course I know I can use "isql -i some.sql".

Just looking for an other solution and I can not find the proper syntax.
