Connecting To Firebird Database

The document provides examples of how to use the Firebird .NET data provider to perform common database operations like connection pooling, updating text fields, handling database events, backing up and restoring databases, and retrieving database metadata and schema information. Key operations demonstrated include opening and closing connections from a pool, inserting data to trigger events, backing up a database to a file, restoring from a backup file, and retrieving metadata about tables, columns, data types and other schema details.
