ADO is a set of database access standards invented by Microsoft. To all
intents and purposes, it is the old OLEDB in new clothes. ODBC is another
set of db interface standards. JDBC is another.

People write drivers - interfaces between the Firebird API and various
Microsoft and third-party client development tools - for various
environments that support the ADO standards. For example, the Firebird
.NET providers support the implementation of ADO on .NET and Mono and (I
think) PNet. There are some third-party ADO/OLEDB providers available for
Firebird - see

We don't support interface components in this list - this one is database
support. Many of the ADO/OLEDB components/drivers have their own support
lists that can help you or point you where you need to go for help.
