Hi,

 

>I'm working with a company and they no longer have access to the user

name/password to there firebird database. We would like to migrate their data to MS SQL and >wondering if there is any way to get in. I've never used firebird so I a real newbie here.

 

In your case, it’s a good thing Firebird doesn’t use username/password

combinations on a per database basis, but on a “per server” basis.

 

Install Firebird, default username/password with all access is

SYSDBA/masterkey

 

You should be able to access the data in the database with that combination.

 

 

 

 

 

Shameless plug:

 

Download yourself a copy of Database Workbench ( www.upscene.com/go/?go=dbw )

so you can access both Firebird and MS SQL Server and use it to transfer the data (and/or

meta data).
