About Database Workbench
Database Workbench is a database developer tool, over 10 years in the making and
is being used by thousands of developers across the globe who have come to rely on it
every day. From database design, implementation, to testing and debugging, it will aid you
in your daily database work.
About Upscene Productions
Based in The Netherlands, Europe, this small but dedicated company has been providing
database developers with useful tools for over 12 years. Slowly expanding the product portfolio
and gaining recognition amongst InterBase and Firebird database developers, they now offer
tools for a whole range of database systems, including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
You likely downloaded the free "Lite Edition" which only supports MySQL, or bought a Basic or Pro edition for MySQL. If you want to use Database Workbench with Firebird, you will need to buy the Basic or Pro version for Firebird, or - if you already own Basic or Pro for another database system - you'll need to buy an additional module for Firebird support.
The documentation indeed contains a screenshot of the "Register Server Wizard" with all database systems listed, but this is probably because the documentation covers all variants, and was created with all modules active.
Database Workbench offers a single development environment for developing with multiple database engines.
With database engine specific functionality, powerful tools and a consistent, clear and intuitive user interface, Database Workbench will increase your productivity from the moment you start using it.
Database Workbench offers the same consistent user interface including the same tools for all supported database systems as well as supporting migration tools to map one database structure to another system without the need to know specific syntax.
Dataedo enables you to create database documentation of your existing relational databases. It reads your schema and lets you easily describe each data element (tables and columns) and other database objects (like triggers, stored procedures, etc.) visually as ER diagrams.
ERBuilder Data Modeler is extremely easy to use and provides all the features you would expect from a professional database modeling and design tool. It enables to graphically design databases by using entity relationship diagrams, reverse engineering and automatically generates the most popular SQL databases.
Model Xtractor is a software utility designed to inspect modeling for traditional or enhanced ER models, with support for most relational database platforms. It provides reverse engineering feature to extract information about database tables, views, columns and relationships.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software gives the ability to describe a database using the Entity-Relationship model. The Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution of ConceptDraw contains all libraries, templates, and samples you may need for professional ERD drawing.
AnySQL Maestro is the premier multi-purpose admin tool for database development and management which include editing, grouping, sorting and filtering abilities. It is a handy SQL Editor with code folding and multi-threading features.
Database Workbench is a single development environment for developing with multiple database engines. You can also reverse engineer existing databases to print graphical overviews of the tables and relationships in your database. Afterward, a diagram can be updated when changes in the database occurred, so your documentation is up-to-date.
Database Workbench is a Windows application (which works fine under Wine on Linux) for database design, development, maintenance and testing for several database systems: MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, Firebird, InterBase, Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Anywhere and NexusDB.
Until now, on my application I have used MS-SQL as a backend database. Yesterday I wanted to test some of the functionalities also on Firebird. So I have installed Firebird Server, FlameRobin, created my tables and on the the schema I have defined a new connection( choosed my driver as Interbase- I was able to see all my tables from Firebird) and set it as default.
Firebird Maestro is the premier Firebird tool for database management, control and development. It provides a rich set of GUI tools for anyone who uses Firebird including database developers, DBAs, and data analysts. Key features include:
All these features make our product your irreplaceable assistant in the world of the Firebird database server. Boost your productivity and save your time and efforts on managing and maintaining your databases with Firebird Maestro!
After you have selected the .jar file(s) for a driver (by clicking on the button), SQL Workbench/J will scan the jar file looking for a JDBC driver. If only a single driver is found, the class name is automatically put into the entry field for the class name. If more than one JDBC driver implementation is found, you will be prompted to select one. In that case, please refer to the manual of your driver or database to choose the correct one.
When defining the location of the driver's .jar file, you can use the placeholder %LibDir% instead of the using the directory's name directly. This way your WbDrivers.xml is portable across installations. To specify the library directory, either set it in the workbench.settings file, or specify the directory using the -libdir switch when starting the application.
SQL Management Studio for IB/FB is a complete solution for administration and development of Interbase and Firebird databases. The single workbench provides you with must-have tools for managing IB and FB databases and objects, as well as for database design, migration, extraction, query building, data import and export, and running service tasks.
Get access to all databases and their objects from a single console and manage them with a user-friendly interface. You can create and modify all server and database objects, set necessary properties, and view detailed info in advanced visual editors.
Transfer structure changes from development to production database automatically with Compare databases tool. Create ER diagrams for newly developed databases to quickly deploy them, monitor activity and collect info about the current DB processes. Create database maintenance tasks with advanced options and let SQL Studio run them on a regular basis.
Save valuable time on creating queries and managing SQL scripts with effective and high-performance tools, that have all features necessary for a database developer. Populate databases with test data or make data and structure reports directly from Studio.
Impressive tools for processing table data are available as easy-to-use wizards and command-line versions for scheduling. Import and export data into multiple tables at once, convert databases from other server types and automate comparison and synchronization of data between different databases.
Firebird SQL Server is a database server based on InterBase 6.0. open source code. There exist Firebird distribution packages for Windows, Linux, Unix, Solaris, MacOS, 32- and 64-bit architecture. Firebird SQL Server is distributed free of charge and has no license restrictions.
Firebird Embedded disadvantage is impossibility of simultaneous connection of several clients to the single database. After successful connection Firebird Embedded blocks database file for the exclusive access.
If you need structured relational data, then apps like MySQL are popular and are the bedrock of powerful line of production apps. A lightweight version that supports relational database concepts but is stored in a simpler file is SQLite.
There are also NoSQL databases like MongoDB that can provide much of the power of traditional relational databases like MySQL but without fixed database schemas which make them more flexible for various uses, particularly for queries (which often have different objectives than line of production apps).
For the sorts of things you eventually want to do MariaDB is your best option, not least because it allows you to limit access to database table columns which is going to be essential for player/coach access. I am not aware of a non-SQL which allows this option.
There are solution platforms you might want to give strong preference, because those frameworks simply set up a foundation, typically a web frontend and a database backend. The advantage of these solutions are that they provide all the setup, and underlying plumbing for the website in a simple script setup which avoids a tremendous amount of work. Examples of this are Drupal, PHPnuke and zillions more. Here is a Wikipedia list

Postgres with pgAdmin should be good as well. PostgreSQL is the most advanced open source database around, so if I were
getting into database now a days, I would put my effort into PostgreSQL. If you need a desktop database sqlite is great. As Malcolm wrote, Libreoffice probably works fine with it.
Libreoffice in general can provide an easy to create/configure frontend to just about any database in existence. The choice of database is limited only by the existence of database connectors for each possible database.
DBeaver Community is a free cross-platform database tool for developers, database administrators, analysts, and everyone working with data. It supports all popular SQL databases like MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Apache Family, and more.
