it should be using some VARIABLE=/path/to/file.gdb, since this $VARIABLE
is needed for the new DSN wizard, to know which parameters the provider
accepts. So, please change it to accept a string of this form. Then, in
the connection_open function you can parse the string using a
GdaQuarkList (in libgda/lib/gda-common).
Also, using this kind of connection string will allow you to add more
parameters in the future, if it needs to.
BTW, any parameter you add to this string must also be added to the
.oaf.in file for the interbase provider, by addding a "gda_params"
oaf_sttribute. See mysql or postgres' oaf.in files for an example.
