Ok ,
but in Message #93483 Helen writes:

There is a config parameter allowing a database to be on a network
device. It
is then *possible* to access a database on a network device but the
database
will shortly self-destruct once record versions get mobile and more
storage is
wanted.

However, Firebird has a feature that lets you set a database to be
read-only. A
read-only database never moves records around and never needs more
disk space -
hence it is safe for this purpose: but ONLY this purpose.
