Hello all,

I am needing some help getting started. I have "talked to" databases for many years BUT our DBA would create the data base for us.

I would like to use something like the following script but I am not sure how to send it to Firebird.

CREATE DATABASE 'Dirve:\Path\db.gdb'
USER 'user' PASSWORD 'pass'
PAGE_SIZE = 1024
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET WIN1251

My question is: how do I create a new database with the API or a command line tool. I don't have any utilities that did not come with the Firebird distribution and I don't want to use any third party tools. Ideally I want to be able to do this all with a scrip so that a client will not have to do anything, but to provide a path for the install.

Thank you all,
Brad
