Older editions of Powerbuilder used ODBC. AFAICT, Powerbuilder 10
expects a .NET provider for its data interface. Therefore, the right
place to ask about this would be the firebird-net-provider list,
remembering of course to mention what *programming language* you plan
to use for development.

Apparently PB 10 can invoke Java classes directly. If your
development language is Java, try asking on the firebird-java list.

You will find subscribing instructions for all lists at

Not possible in Firebird 2. Now, the security functions can only be
accessed by invoking the Services API. So he's looking for a driver
that supports the Services API and whatever PB 10 offers for accessing data.
