• | Role name: Role name used for the connection. |
• | Character set: Character set used for the connection. Click the Refresh button the fetch the database default character set. |
• | Client-Library: Specify an optional Firebird client library to be used in context of this particular database attachment. Leave this empty to use the library provided in in the Register Server dialog. |
