DBA is the actual name of a company that produces an MRP/ERP software using firebird as its database. I just need to access the database to write some simple queries for the boss. I guess firebird doesn't have it's own native interface for doing queries and reports?

Without having to go to a third party source and do an ODBC?

Anyway, thanks for the help and input.
