You've missed the point that communication between a client application and
the server is mediated by the gds client. The server is listening for the
formal data structures that this gds client passes to it, in response to
the formal data structures *it* receives from the client application.

If you only have a "Playstation Rebol" that can't load and make calls to a
dynamic library then you won't get far with Firebird. If you're not a
programmer yourself, then your best hope is to find a reb who will script
the API calls for you.
