 in TIBConnection there is a property Hostname. So, people expect to put 
there the Server Name or IP and the location of the DB in the 
DatabaseName property. But in IBConnection unit in isc_attach_database, 
only the DatabaseName is used.

 Of course if you include the Server Name / IP in DatabaseName all is 
working fine but i think that in that case the HostName property just 
confuse people.
