Configure Squirrel to connect to Firebird Database
I was looking for some tutorial about configuring Squirrel SQL (http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/) to connect to firebird database and unfortunately i couldn’t find one . So when i finally managed to connect, i thought of publishing the steps in my log so that it could be useful to some one else.
