Technical articles, How-tos, guides, etc.
This little article shows how to access Firebird databases by using the ZEOS component Library in version 6.1.5 (including Patches 1&2) and how to use these components in database applications. It does not matter if you use the “real” SQL-Server or the embedded version which is restricted to local held databases. A couple of examples (also migrated Delphi-BDE demos) shall explain how to use the ZEOS components.
When configuring a Windows machine for use by the Evolution™ payroll service-bureau system, a common step is installing the open-source Firebird database software; this Evo Tip details the process.

However after fixing a few issues, e.g. defining the platform etc, we found that isql_static would core dump on trying to create a database. This is where the fun begins.
Pay attention, specially if you are using old IBO versions: Dmitry Yemanov posted in Firebird-Devel list that the OldParameterOrdering setting (found in Firebird.conf) will be removed from Firebird 2.5, and OldColumnNaming will be removed in FB 3.0.
