Please see the Contact sample application for how to use the script and
check for the existence of the database..

As for adding users, look at the IB_Session interface for some methods,
Alteruser() and it will allow you to do that too. Only problem there is you
need to use the SYSDBA account and so you will need to embed the password in
the EXE somewhere.
