[Gambas-user] Conect to Firebird

[Sergio A. Hernandez]

In your Package Manager (YAST/Synaptic/Etc) make sure that the
following packages are installed (or in your case the first 3):

gambas2-gb-db
gambas2-gb-db-firebird
gambas2-gb-db-form
gambas2-gb-db-mysql
gambas2-gb-db-odbc
gambas2-gb-db-postgresql
gambas2-gb-db-sqlite

You can see the Beginners Guide with a very verbose explanation about
databases on Gambas.
http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/Uelsk8s/gambas-beginner-guide.pdf

Supposedly, the big difference between the different db drivers is
only on the connection string.
