> Hi,I doubt you can use any of them completely unchanged, Dave, but Firebird uses pretty standard SQL, so you may be close if you choose DB2, Oracle or PostgreSQL. Though this doesn't quite sound like an IBO question (Interbase Objects) and the question may be more appropriate for the firebird-support list. If you provide the link to the scripts (assuming they're freely available), then maybe someone there could translate them into Firebird jargon (I assume they're not very extensive).
