That doesn't tell the user that they can not use any of the DB wizards with
their non-Java Firebird database. It also doesn't solve the problem. 

The UI wizards form part of the basic functionality of the DB module, and were
designed to help new users with the complexity of basic DB tasks, such as those
found in competing products. 

The solution is to either rewrite the wizards in C++ or another acceptable
language, or remove the UI entries entirely.


Including buttons which simply do nothing is at best a bug, at worst, given
that the user makes a financial contribution to obtaining the product, leaves
the the foundation open to accusations of dubious commercial practises under a
variety of consumer protection laws.
