Write a batch file which call gbak on your ditributed backup of the
database. I assume the machine has already got FB installed.

Send a script to do the modifications and ask the junior tech to run the
script in ISQL (distribute this as well - or even send them a bat file which
calls ISQL from the command line.

PS = use IBExpert (free) for DB management - it can remember your db changes
or you can run a db comparer which will compare your copy of the site db to
the dev copy and create a script for you to match the dbs
