The SQLite implementation may be a good choice as it is probably one
of the simplest ones, even if it doesn't really have any real
information_schema. What you'll need first, is a way to
reverse-engineer schema information from your Firebird database. I
found this website here:
http://www.alberton.info/firebird_sql_meta_info.html

You may find even better ones.

Another option is to implement #1636
https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/1636

This would allow for arbitrary database dialects to be supported by
jooq-meta, and thus by jooq-codegen, if their JDBC drivers
sufficiently implement the JDBC DatabaseMetaData API (which is rarely
the case, unfortunately).

I had been thinking about closing the developer group, as it doesn't
get a lot of traction. As long as discussions stay within a few
threads, I guess it is OK to use the user-group. In fact, it would be
interesting for the public to see how new databases can be supported.
Maybe other users will have input and hints for general improvements.

I have yours, if it is the one you use to send mails to this group?

Cheers and good luck! :-)
