There's nothing wrong with asking beginner questions . However, please use a more descriptive title to your posts in the future. Titles like "biiiig problemmmo" don't explain your needs to anyone browsing the forums.

Well, the first way is through the command-line tool called isql, where you can interactively type in SQL statements, and see the results. Also, you should be able to save SQL in text files and "run" them in isql. But, you can also use the other methods you mention. I'm sure there is at least one, maybe more graphical programs to manage Firebird tables. Have you searched www.firebirdsql.org? Are you familiar with standard SQL "CREATE TABLE" statements?

You might want to search for a forum on Delphi, but I believe there are links to articles and tutorials on the www.firebirdsql.org website. (Also, note that articles referring to Delphi and Interbase should be very helpful, because Firebird is the open-source version of Interbase)

Check out InterXpress to connect Delpi to Firebird via dbExpress.
Database workbench is good for making tables.

Try IDBAdmin or IBExpress there is actuall quite a few managers out there. I now IBExpress has a free one for personal use.
