        FBManager manager = new FBManager(GDSType.getType("EMBEDDED"));

        try {
            manager.start();
            manager.createDatabase("f:/test.fdb", "sysdba", "masterkey");

        Statement st = bd.createStatement();
        st.execute("create table if not exists 'TABLE1' ('name1' int, 'name2' text, 'name3' text);");
        st.execute("insert into 'TABLE1' ('name1', 'name2', 'name3') values (1, 'name1', 'name2'); ");
        st.execute("insert into 'TABLE1' ('name1', 'name2', 'name3') values (2, 'name3', 'name4'); ");
        st.execute("insert into 'TABLE1' ('name1', 'name2', 'name3') values (3, 'name5', 'name6');");

        FireBirdCreator fbc = new FireBirdCreator();
    }

The error message indicates that the file does not exist. The fact that it shows ‘null’ instead of the actual filename might be a mismatch between embedded version and Jaybird version.

To create a database you need to use the following code (and handle the exceptions it throws in a correct manner):

FBManager manager = new FBManager(GDSType.getType("EMBEDDED"));
manager.start();
manager.createDatabase("database.fdb", "", "");
manager.stop();

Also be aware that the DDL you are using to create the table is not valid Firebird SQL. You will need to use RECREATE TABLE and Firebird does not have a type called text.

Full disclosure: I am one of the developers of Jaybird (the Firebird JDBC driver).
