		GDSType type = GDSType.getType("EMBEDDED");
		try (FBManager fbManager = new FBManager(type)) {
			fbManager.start();
			fbManager.createDatabase(filename, null, null);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			throw new RuntimeException(e);

	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, SQLException {
		FirebirdEmbeddedServiceProvider.getInstance().install(Paths.get("path-to-install"));
		createDatabase("demo.fdb");
		try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:firebirdsql:embedded:demo.fdb")) {
