As far as I understand it, if you use the Firebird 3 mapping feature,

different user.

So, as far as I know, a client no longer knows what the actual user
is, even if it used username and password authentication.


Then the question: for what the client would need to known the mapped
user name?

The same can be asked for a lot of other information items that can be obtained from isc_database_info. And the answer is invariably: because it can be useful for an application or a driver itself to obtain that information.
