I'm wondering how many users we'll lose because of this change. People never like more requirements to do the same job. This is especially important for embedded users, I believe 95% of them never used aliases and would hate to setup some configuration just to access the database. It will also complicate installation/distribution of embedded solutions. Another point is related to FB development and testing. I have ~50 different databases for debugging and testing. I often copy them here and there. Touching databases.conf every time seems like an overkill for me. Especially given that databases.conf may suddenly disappear from firebird/gen/ after git reset --hard. fbtest creates and deletes a database for the every test. We could modify databases.conf from scripts when tests are run one-by-one, but what about the batch run?
