As Helen says, follow the examples which use the IBX components. As long as
you don't do too many FB specific actions, most things will work fine using
Firebird instead of Interbase.

If you develop using the embedded version, you must make sure you don't
leave a database connection open in the IDE when trying to run/debug the
program as it does not allow multiple connections. Like Helen, though, I
would recommend using the full server to develop with and only deploying the
embedded version.
