Re[2]: [Firebird-devel] Connecting to Firebird on different ports: something is wrong.

Martijn et al,

Here's my understanding: as things stand currently(*), perhaps the sequence should be

1) connection string
2) fb_db in the services file
3) firebird.conf
4) default to 3050

(*) in the future, I would like to see a client library that does not
use firebird.conf at all, i. e. use a special fbclient.conf or, even
better, go without a config file and refer to the connection string
for nondefault settings.

Ciao
