description: If you tryt o run this code

FbConnection fbConnection = new FbConnection();
FbConnection fbConnection1 = (FbConnection)((ICloneable)fbConnection).Clone();

it will throw exception.

It's because if we create FbConnection without connection string in ctor, we're internally assigning empty string. But when cloning the connection, we put property to ctor and then this is validated and fails. I suppose:
* to test in Clone method whether connection string is empty (or null) and if so create FbConnection with null in ctor param [this is least painful solution]
OR
* not to assing internally empty string but leave it null (if no connection string has been provided) [this is maybe a little bit clear solution, but needs to review code on various place, whether something doesn't depends on empty connection string]
