No windows in this equation, but I don't know what the SUSE install
actually did. So where do I find out how to check this? It's created the
crib for the legacy ... AH that must be an old one! SYSDBA.password is
from August :(

Right had to add firebird-examples to get employee database, and isql-fb
is the right access package, but
create user SYSDBA password 'SomethingCryptic'; gives me an add record
error, so presumably SYSDBA already exists? At least I've altered the
password, but I'm not getting a request to enter it when opening
employee again ...

Flamerobin knows if FB3 is running or not ...

It can see the old databases but of cause they need updating to 12.0. I
still remember when I could open old databases. I suppose the next thing
to try is to restore one to see what isql-fb says ... except it's been
years since I did that from the command line ...
