Re: [stellation-res] Firebird 
I just installed Firebird 1.0.2 SuperServer, and got it to start running
in Stellation. Here's the tricks:

(1) Run gsec as root.
(2) Get the Jaybird JDBC. It's on the firebird website. Add the relevant
  libraries to your libs dir. (I needed to grab a copy of the j2ee jar,
  and put it in the extensions dir of my Java system to get the
  necessary support libs.)
(3) Change the name of the firebird driver in the Java code to the name
  of the Jaybird JDBC driver, org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver.
(4) Change the jdbc URL to start with "jdbc:firebirdsql://".
(5) Change the port number used to connect to 3050, which is where
  the SuperServer listens.

In addition, Firebird 1.0.2 SuperServer seem to have the restriction
that table creation statements must be committed before executing any
insert statements, so the code needs to be changed to handle that.

Once you get this far, the RC2 of Jaybird 1.0.0 gets a null
pointer in the initial "INSERT  INTO s_Versions" statement at
LocalHandle line 1038.
