Hi,

I've just started working in an organisation that is using
firebird. The person who implemented it is very hard to get hold
of. The person I'm working with doesn't know a great deal about it,
just basic maintenance of the database.

I've installed it, run through the quick guides: eg. (in
employeed.fdb) changed the password for sysdba and added a new
user. I've downloaded flamerobin and connected to the employee.fdb
database. I just don't understand where to go from here. I feel
very noobish, but I've googled for "firebird tutorial"
and "interbase tutorial" but am coming up short.

Can anyone help me find some resources on the basics so I can have a
play with employee.fdb? I think I'm just missing something, like
whether you can open the database with a client and how? Whether
there's something GUI, like MS Access or OpenOffice Base. I
typed "help" while logged into the database through isql but it
still didn't make a great deal of sense.

I can't get hold of the files we use here yet but I am hoping to
create a similar set up in the future. I think we are using it to
store data and then create Crystal Reports from the database.

Thanks,

Hew
