No, Doug - THANKS for picking up the wonky cut-and-paste!!

If this is needed, then (for Firebird) the whole string would be:

ABCD/3050:/opt/interbase/dbdata/XXX.fdb

Looking at the way the entries are parsed into the DatabaseName, I think it
should be

Server - ABCD/3050
Path - /opt/interbase/dbdata/XXX.fdb

Thanks Doug.
