Sorry Pablo

my misunderstanding. Our tools create Firebird databases on the fly but I'm pretty sure they do that using ADO/OLE. I'll check in to this tomorrow and get back to you if we can help doing this with ODBC.

http://www.ibprovider.com/eng/documentation/firebird_adonet/p3_ddl_odbc_metadata.html covers OLE, but may give you some pointers re ODBC.
