Connecting to the Firebird Database Support
In this second article on the Firebird database, Allan shows us how to use triggers in the database to set-up fields that auto-increment (as we saw in the first article Firebird doesn't let you do this straight off - you have to use internal counters called generators).
Moving on from there, Allan introduces us to an open source project (ibWebAdmin) that consist of a set of PHP scripts that allow you to easily administer your Firebird database through a web browser.
