            Bug ID: 85146
           Summary: FILEOPEN: Firebird connect to an existing Firebird
                    database file fails: tries to connect to hostname
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Database
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

(Enabled experimental support for Firebird; I know this feature may not be
complete but the UI seems to support it so reporting anyway)

Using the wizard, connect to existing database, Firebird File

Datasource URL window appears. Click browse to choose a firebird .fdb file
The URL gets filled in like file:///D:/AUser/Documents/Firebird/thedb.fdb
The GUI asks you to save the .odb file, ok.

Next: error message: 
LibreOffice Base
The connection to the data source "test9" could not be established.

firebird_sdbc error:
*Unable to complete network request to host "MYCOMPUTER"1) 
*Failed to locate host machine
caused by
'isc_attach_database'

1) where MYCOMPUTER is the local hostname

As the string includes the host name, this suggests the driver is trying to
connect to 
- a Firebird server via TCP/IP
rather than
- to the firebird file using the embedded client
(see also www.firebirdfaq.org/faq260/)
