Thanks, Mark. I found FB 2.5 SQL Language reference here http://www.firebirdsql.org/refdocs/langrefupd25-select.html but it does not contain the grammar for the entire SELECT statement, just individual fragments, such as JOIN, ORDER BY, etc.
Where can I find a comprehensive syntax definition for the entire SELECT statement?
