Hi all,

Can anyone recommend some introductory tutorials, online courses, and/or 
prerequisite information I need to learn before diving into Firebird?  

I have an application I like, but now I can't access the database. Attempts to 
restore from the backup yield a "not a valid database" message. The developer 
offered to "fix" the database if I send it to him. There is 6 months worth of 
data plugged into that database, some of it private. Starting from scratch and 
handing my private data over to a stranger are both unacceptable. Therefore, I 
have a lot of learning to do so that I can correct the problem myself. Though I 
have a fair amount of computer experience, both on PCs and IBM mainframes, 
delving into database innards is new territory for me. 

I am using Windows 7 on my home PC. Though I use Word/Excel/LibreOffice quite a 
bit, I have never gotten into Access or the Libre version of it. 

I have access to a MySQL online course through work. Would that be useful at 
all?

Marsha
