The instructions for Firebird are the same on both Windows and POSIX. Linux and MacOSX are both POSIX. It's not a different application, pertaining to Mac in particular, though of course the various kits are compiled for the particular platforms. Just follow the Quick Start Guide (in the /doc folder). You will also find it useful to have the release notes on hand as there are particular instructions for configuration that might not be fully covered in the QSG. BTW, we don't provide a how-to for working with a Mac framework...or a Linux installation...or any particular release of Windows...or any particular platform. It's assumed you know how to work with the platform-specific tools and text editors. Anything in Firebird's workings that is specific to a platform will be covered somewhere - if not in the QSG then in the release notes. Apart from the obvious differences like file and network systems and their specific syntaxes, operational differences are rare. The tool you'll want for setting up your user accounts, including the initial password for the sysadmin (SYSDBA user) is isql, a command-line app that you'll find in the /bin directory. You can use that to connect to the employee database (which is aliased in databases.conf), as you need to be connected to a database to work on user accounts. Documentation for isql can be found in the documentation library of the Firebird web site. You might want to pick up the Mac version of Flamerobin at some point, if you prefer a graphical interface. Hope this helps. Use this list if you bump into something that doesn't seem to work properly for you.

[firebird-support] How does a Mac OS user get started?
Hi all, I downloaded Firebird 3.0.3 and installed it on my Mac. In Library > Frameworks, I do see Firebird.framework and it has many folders inside. I read the Quick Start Guide, but all the instructions pertain to Windows and Unix users. Is there any documentation for Mac users?
Re: [firebird-support] Firebird cluster
Hello, As you probably know, Firebird a) uses complex mechanism to write consistent data to the database file even in the multi-users environment, b) intensively uses own cache, which must be synced with database file. SafeKit says it is byte-level replication. So, essentially it is the same as DRBD or shadow or VM-based replication - the copy of a database locked for the access (even read-only), and byte-level replication will replicate all low-level errors which occur in Firebird. In the best case, the "replica" database will have the same state as master database after hard-reset. The true native replication should be logical and transaction-aware.

Re: [firebird-support] Firebird cluster
At this moment, I searching what is available and really used. Main objective is HA cluster. however it is also depend on other services like SLA for Firebird/solution. I know about HQBird, evidian safekit and FireSwarm. Any other? Any of them has some significant issue?
