I'd suggest migrating to IBO (or FIBplus). Someone is working on making a
Fb-compatible version of IBX, though.

As for the conversion itself I don't think there would be any
problems. There are of course differences that you must be aware of, e.g.
Fb is not particularily happy about 'ambiguous' queries so you may (or not)
have to tidy up some SQL.
