Dbeaver Firebird



High compatibility with industry standards on many fronts makes Firebird the obvious choice for developing interoperable applications for homogeneous and hybrid environments. Also included in this Windows Server 2019 image is DBeaver GUI. DBeaver is a database administration tool. Creating and Managing Database Connections with DBeaver. This topic explains how to work with the DBeaver plugin to create and manage databases in Zend Studio. DBeaver supports any database which has JDBC driver, and may handle any external data source which may or may not have a JDBC driver.


  1. DBeaver cannot connect to the Firebird database file without these services running. Which is kind of odd because the osFinancials application that uses this database file was working just fine without the services. Anyway, once the Firebird Server is installed as 'run as application' there is AFAIK no easy way to still get it to run as a service.
