[DUG] BDS2006 or Rad 2007 & the web

[Alister Christie]

There is not much official documentation as yet.  I'm using DBX to 
access the data, so learning about that would be a good start (there are 
plenty of movies and documentation on this).  You can get firebird from 
http://firebirdsql.org and there is lots of documentation there as well 
(not Delphi related however).
