Hi Robert,

You can use fbManager to create the database. After that you can use sql
calls to do the rest. This is from FAQ #33:

You can use the methods in FBManager in the package
org.firebirdsql.management to easily create a new database in your programs.
After creation you can connect to the database and use the standard SQL
calls to create tables and populate them.

This is an example:

String DB_SERVER_URL = "localhost";
int DB_SERVER_PORT = 3050;
String DB_PATH = "c:/database";
String DB_NAME = "test.gdb";
String DB_USER = "sysdba";
String DB_PASSWORD = "masterkey";

fbManager.setServer(DB_SERVER_URL);
fbManager.setPort(DB_SERVER_PORT);

fbManager.start();

fbManager.createDatabase(DB_PATH + "/" + DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
