in thread Creating a Firebird Database

The aim of the script is to provide one place for creating MySQL, SQL and Firebird accounts for users, printing off a sheet for them to take away with their account details.

Unfortunately Firebird and Perl aren't on the same box so I can't use system.

The back up plan is to use isql as you suggested, it would just be more convenient to have everything in the same place.

Thanks again for your help.

    Surely once you have created the database you will be able to use DBI to interface with it to create users or whatever? Am I missing your point here?

      Each user gets their own database, so when they request an account a database needs to be created for them as well as a username and password. Sorry if I did not make this clear.

        Can you re read Re: Creating a Firebird Database, radiantmatrix brings up a few good points here.
        I think that you are feeding us little bits of a problem piece meal.
        In your previous post you said the goal was to setup database accounts for users, no mention of instances.
        In order to give advice we need to know exactly what you want to do.
        A detailed description of what you of the tools you are using, the platform(s) you have to work on and the over all goal of the program is and any restrictions you have.
