Hello, I'm trying to get OOo working with the Firebird RDBMS, using Firebird's JDBC driver Jaybird. I've added all the JAR files to the classpath properly and tested the class to see if it works (it does). However, once I add the DB URL firebirdsql:127.0.0.1/3050:/opt/firebird/examples/employee.fdb and try to test the connection, I get a JDBC UnknownHostException, whether I use "localhost" or the IP. Just to be sure, I tried the same with MySQL and JDBC and initially got the same error. After switching to the IP however, I can now access the DB.
I don't think it is a network issue, as I can access Firebird using the same URL as above with the isql shell utility. Is this a deeper problem with Java or the JDBC? I find it odd that an IP works for MySQL but not Firebird, especially.
