I've gone thru all the docs, looked up instructions on Google, but STILL I 
cannot get an embedded setup to work!  There are really no consise 
instructions available that I have been able to find that take you from 
setup to creating a database, adding tables, fields, indexes, etc.
I added the proper dll to my references section in VS 2005.  I added 
FirebirdSQL.Data.FirebirdClient to the namespace in order to get some of my 
code to compile although it didn't tell me anywhere in the docs about doing 
so!  Then from bits and pieces I fouind on the internet I finally came up 
with this...which is in Object Pascal btw as I use Chrome ontop of VS 2005.

First I name the variables:
Var MyFBConnection: FbConnection;

Var MyFBParams: Hashtable;

//Then here's the code it tells me to run:

DataStoreFile := Path.Combine(DataStoreDir, 'ProgManagerDB.fdb');
  MyFBConnection := new 
FbConnection('ServerType=1;SYSDBA;Pooling=False;Password=masterkey;Dialect=3;DataBase='
 
+ DataStoreFile);
  MyFBParams := new Hashtable();
  MyFBParams.Add('User', 'SYSDBA');
  MyFBParams.Add('Password', 'masterkey');
  MyFBParams.Add('Database', DataStoreFile);
  MyFBParams.Add('ServerType', 1);
  MyFbConnection.CreateDatabase(MyFBParams);

    //Of course this won't compile because the error says the parameter for 
Createdatabase must be a string, but what string?  I cannot even find this 
method in the help docs anywhere!  And nowhere can I find out what to do 
next!  All i want to do is set up a simple embedded server application, 
create and fill some tables with values, give them indexes, and be able to 
retrieve the data.  According to what I was told, I should be able to do so 
without SQL, but I can't find any instructions!  PLEASE help if you can. 
You will earn my undying gratitude!
