I know at least 2 good ways of doing it:

1.
You can install Firebird ODBC driver and attach it to MSSQL as 'external
data source' (or something like that, I forgot the exact name).

After that, you can do simple:

INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ...

in both directions.


2.
Install IBDataPump and MSSQL ODBC driver. Use it to copy the data. You
can't use SQL for this, so maybe there is less control - but it's fine
if you just want to copy data around.
