Thanks, Massimo! The auth.settings.password_field='password2' thing did the trick!
I'm afraid the '?set_encoding=None' thing doesn't work. As I said earlier I tried using the string that you suggested: db = SQLDB('firebird://sysdba:passw...@localhost/employee.fdb? set_encoding=None') but I got this error: "'isc_attach_database: I/O error for file "employee.fdb?set_encoding=None" Error while trying to open file.
