Federated(linked) Tables in Firebird

Hi all,

I'm curious if its possible to setup a Federated database in Firebird. I'm looking to setup a table in a firebird database which would point to or link to another firebird or SQL database. I just can't find any documentation on how to set it up.

Just to shed more light on what I'm up against, I'll explain my problem a bit more. I have 30 firebird databases spreadout on different PCs throughout my organization. Each database has its own UserLogin table... Everytime a new user needs to be added or a password changed, I need to update this table on 30 separate PCs. I'd like for each of the 30 databases to virtually pull this data from the central database. It would be a regular table in each of the 30 databases, but the data would be always pulled from the central database.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

HoveyG

I'm pretty shure that dblinks/federate tables are in the ToDo list.
Can't you relocate databases to a central server instead of the users pcs?
I'm unsure about about the ability of a Firebird server to do remote auth.
