But only at creation time !

Did you seen the Firebird book in local shops ?
One mysql user is complaining that mysql books aren’t in the “database” area [ED: seems that he spoted one firebird book]
I’ve placed the first book of a Firebird 2.0 manual on-line:
http://www.janus-software.com/fbmanual/
This book is about the stored procedure and trigger language “PSQL” and
consists of about 100 web pages. I would expect that all 8 planned
books will be online before the end of the year.
The on-line manual is user editable, in the sense that users can post
extra information, examples and corrections — in the style of the on-
line PHP manual.
All feedback is welcome.
Enjoy!
Paul
