You use SQL, the data definition language (DDL) commands.
In brief,
1. you can create the database and its objects using an interactive tool like IB_SQL (free download from http://www.ibobjects.com) or the command-line tool isql.exe (installed in your Firebird\bin directory) - simply, one DDL command after another in a dynamic SQL interface;
2. (the more usual, safe and accepted way) you can make a DDL script using a text editor and run it through one of the tools mentioned in 1).

If you need documentation, download the manuals, for which you can find links at both http://firebirdsql.org and http://www.ibphoenix.com.

For help as you go, join the ib-support list - go to http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/ib-support .

Please do not post any more support questions in this (ib-conversions) list - its purpose is to assist those who need to convert other RDBMS to Firebird or InterBase.
