I spent so much time researching tools for Interbase.  Here is the info I've
compiled.  I hope it helps.

Database Backend:
Interbase v6.0 (http://www.borland.com/interbase)

Client Tools I use:
IBConsole Server and Client (http://www.borland.com/interbase/)
IBAccess (http://www.ibaccess.org/)
sql2gdb (http://www.ibphoenix.com/sql2gdb.html)

ODBC Driver:
Easysoft (http://www.easysoft.com)

The best method I found for creation and administration of Interbase
databases is to install Interbase Server and Client onto your development
machine.  Then install the www.easysoft.com Interbase ODBC driver.  You can
create, edit databases with IBConsole.  IBConsole will not connect with the
server though, so I use IBAccess.  You will convert your SQL (Access)
databases to an Interbase database using 'sql2gdb'.  I personally sifted
through the SQL script it created and edited it to my standards.  You may do
the same if you wish.
