The Firebird engine doesn't have a way to import from a CSV file. There
are tools available which can do smarter imports than
legacy->CSV->Firebird. If your original database can be accessed as an
ADO/BDE/ODBC source, you could look at InterBase DataPump, at
http://www.clevercomponents.com/products/datapump/ibdatapump.asp

As far as I know, this tool is free.
