Ok. I changed it to:

CONNECT 'c:\mypath\mydb.gdb' USER 'sysdba' PASSWORD 'masterkey';

It still doesn't work. The exact error that I get is "Invalid CREATE, CONNECT
or DROP DATABASE syntax."

Ok. I found the source of the hanging problem. It was some incorrect syntax in
my script. I had a statement like the following:

update mytable set col1=col1a, set col2=col2a, set col3=col3a;

The problem was the extra "set" words in there. Once I removed them, it worked
fine. Still seems strange, though, that that would cause it to hang instead of
giving an error message.
