[DUG] Rapid SQL connecting to Firebird

[John Bird]

If what you are looking for is running SQL and DB admin tools, running scripts etc then FlameRobin and EMS SQL Manager both have free (and for EMS paid) versions.  both excellent.  Flamerobin (Sourceforge) lightweight and based on functionality of MS SQL Studio, and EMS even in the Lite free version has lots of features – eg running parameterised queries, extracting DDL, scripts and edits with commit and rollback, running stored procedures etc.   Both can show SQL execution details and index stats.  Flamerobin is cross platform, EMS Windows only I think.

I am puzzled though, on the Rapid SQL page http://www.embarcadero.com/products/rapid-sql  it definitely says Firebird is supported.  Release date for that though is May 2010.

Was this one of the free tools you picked with XE2 order?

If so, what are the opinions which are the best free tools, I don’t really know them and also want to get the best ones (I got XE2 professional)

I don't believe Rapid SQL supports Firebird.

  Hi all, 

  Has anyone had any success connecting the free Rapid SQL XE2 tool to the example.fdb firebird database?

  I've had a browse on the internet and all I can find is either adds telling us how Rapid SQL connects to Firebird; or forms telling us that no-one has found a way to make Rapid SQL to connect to a Firebird database.

  I though it might be a version thing so I unloaded firebird  2.5 and downloaded and installed Firebird 2.0 - with exactly the same result.

  If someone has connected to the EXAMPLE.FDB database that comes with Firebird can you please tell me what you did?
