Firebird Connection Type RazorSQL can connect to Firebird in two ways - either directly to a Firebird database file, or to a Firebird database file through a running Firebird server. To connect directly to a file, select the Local File connection type option and enter the file location. To connect via Firebird server, enter the host and port of the Firebird server and the Firebird file location. Please note that the server needs to be able to access the file through the file system to be able to connect.
