It's not like that anymore, you "just" need to know the path to the
database file on the remote server. It has the ability to spread a
database over several files to overcome OS limitations to the file size,
but it's not transparent iirc. Firebirds concept of a database name in
PostgreSQL is a filename on the servers file system. Other that that
it's a serious database.
