Regarding to the endless improvements of the 5.40 version I believe that it would be a great feature for business applications a directly access to a FireBird database.
The FireBird is extremely robust and mature, has an embedded version and a flexible license.
I understand that means very hard work for the team, but it would be an amazing feature and I hope that the team include it in a future version.
Best regards.

Funny you should mention that..I install a lot of software on my computer and always find Firebird directories in "program files" so it sounds interesting to me too.

I actually installed Firebird last year after finding leftovers from various programs and the database looked interesting.
I think when it comes to database, the more the merrier. I remember El_Choni, Paul and Rings got me started on databases many years ago and I must admit to loving what you can do with them.
