5.3. Administration tools

The Firebird kit does not come with a GUI admin tool. It does have a set of command-line tools — executable programs which are located in the bin subdirectory of your Firebird installation (on Windows, they are in the installation directory itself). One of them, isql, has already been introduced to you.

The range of excellent GUI tools available for use with a Windows client machine is too numerous to describe here. At least one of them, FlameRobin, is also available for Linux.

Explore the Download > Tools > Administration page at https://www.ibphoenix.com for all of the options.

Remember: you can use a Windows client to access a Linux server and vice-versa.
