Unlike SQL Server or MySQL, Firebird doesn't keep a list of databases -
a database is just a file that happens to be structured as a Firebird
database. It's independent of file system locations, etc. There is
an aliasing capability, but the aliases aren't guaranteed to include
all databases - and I guess they could point to something that's not
a database. So "browsing databases available" really isn't a Firebird
concept.
