Submitted by: Ravi M Patel (ravimpatel)

I have worked mainly on SQL Server. I am starting to like Firebird. However, there is one road block upon which I get stumbled upon a lot. There is NO single place (document) where I can find a reference to all of Firebird SQL syntax. I have to look at multiple place. e.g. I had a hard time finding what a suspend statement does, how transactions are handled.

I couldn't find a single place where error handling or exception handling syntax is given. I have to guess how it may work from a couple of examples.

Again, I know it's open source and its totally free, but this is really a pain. I would like to help here if I have opportunity.

Hello Ravi. Currently you have to look things up in the InterBase 6 Language Reference, and then consult the Firebird LangRef Update for your version to see what has changed or has been added. Both documents can be found via this page:

<http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/reference-manuals/>

We are working on a full language reference, but this may take years to complete. If you are serious about helping with the documentation, please subscribe to the Firebird docs list and introduce yourself there:

<mailto:firebird-docs-request@lists.sourceforge.net>

You may also contact me directly at mailto:paul@vinkenoog.nl
