Without this capability FB is not really suited for use in corp
environments.
Even lowly Access can do this.  I wanted to convert a Access app one of our
dept uses and I found that they are linking in data from other Access
Databases, so in order to port the app to firebird I have to import all the
data into one big huge database, instead of importing into seperate DBs and
keeping the app similar to the way it was in Access.
