Does it apply to remote servers also such as
www.myserver.com:/opt/database/fbdata.fdb
The release note README file in the embbeded zip says:
//
2.2. Database access
Client access can be only via the local protocol,
i.e.
*NOT a TCP/IP connection string that includes the server name
"localhost" or IP address 127.0.0.1.*
The embedded server supports only the local connection
to a database file path without a server name.
The database file can be accessed by multiple client
programs. The database consistency in this case is
guaranteed internally (by the shared lock table).

Has this been updated in the Firebird 2.5.6 ?
