fine Firebird is proving to be sufficiently difficult that I might just
drop it.

Have you tried the fbadmin unit that comes with 2.6.2? It implements
some of the interbase service routines such as user management and
backup/restore. There has a convenient AddUser method.
Thanks Ludo and Tony, I'll take a look at that a bit later in the day
but I'm sure I'll have more questions.
What I'm trying to do is set up a tree of database servers and apps, and
was hoping to allow cooperating admins to use Firebird at the leaf nodes
on account of its perceived ease of configuration etc. Having said that,
if I have to start moving outside "standard" SQL to do things like user
creation, i.e. maintain both SQL-based commands for PostgreSQL and API
sequences for Firebird, much of the perceived advantage disappears.
