Hi,

One website with tons of info - although a bit hard to find here and there - is www.ibphoenix.com

As for auto-increment:
Firebird doesn't have it. It does have "generators" though, that can generate unique numbers but aren't tied to a table or anything.

For starters, download yourself the InterBase 6 documentation (the basis of Firebird) and the Firebird 1.5 release notes to get up-to-date.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Cool
You need to create an generator and then a trigger

Read about triggers and generators in the manual
