Hello!

IBExpert is very expensive.

What do you use instead for FireBird database?

Hello Csaba,
 
We offer Database Workbench (for Firebird), it’s available in multiple editions, so you can select which one suits you.
 
The initial license price is slightly lower than for IBExpert, but most importantly, the yearly update subscription (for the current major version) is only Euro 49 (Basic), Euro 59 (Pro) or Euro 69 (Enterprise).
 
Feel free to check out the pricing here:
 
 
With regards,

Martijn Tonies

Database Workbench - developer tool for Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, InterBase, NexusDB and Firebird.

I feel urged to support this. I use Database Workbench for more than  10 years now. It's a jewel.

Especially if you have stored procedures to debug :)

I use isql. Someone else can use FlameRobin.

We use only flamerobin it is free, nothing more needed.

Below most recent version as on main page there are old versions only.

Hello,

 

In my opinion IBExpert is not expensive, compared to the features it offers (database comparer, extract script for structure and data, database designer [ER-Model], stored proc debugger and much more). I did not like the license model but I like this tool.

I use IBExpert for fast development and on customer servers I use the free FlameRobin (for support request to look into the database and search for data). I didn’t used Database Workbench from upscene so I can’t give you a comparison between this tools.

 

To compare IBExpert versus isql/FlameRobin is like to compare application development with VisualStudio/Delphi versus text editor and command line compiler. It works, but it is not efficient.

 

Regards

Mathias
