Try putting quotes around FIRST - that will force Firebird to look at it as
a column name rather than a reserved word.

I recently uninstalled Interbase server and installed Firebird
server. A database created in Interbase works fine in Firebird
except for a column called FIRST in one of the tables. I am not even
able to execute an ALTER TABLE DROP FIRST statement in SQL. Is the
word FIRST a reserved word in Firebird?
