Ah, misread that.

Yes there is an option to select a Firebird dialect (for Hibernate JPA),
but it is generic for Firebird 1.5 (IIRC) and higher. As I don't know
EclipseLink, I am not sure, but I heard someone was able to use the files I
created for the Firebird version of Eclipse Data Tools Project
(http://www.lawinegevaar.nl/firebird/ ) in EclipseLink, I am not sure how
that works though and the files included are only for Firebird 2.1.

On the other hand, if you don't ask they will not know there is a need. I
did try to write a Firebird 2.1 specific Hibernate dialect some time ago,
but as I did not have a lot of time, and did not really require it myself I
never actually finished.
