Types of files EM can convert

Hello, everyone:

I need an app to convert an .fdb file to a .csv. Does EM do that? TIA.

You could try to use ODBC to access Firebird database.
Here is a topic Tip: How to query unsupported ODBC data sources

Hello:

I started EM. Clicked Start. Clicked Add/Edit. Goes into Connection Manager. Clicked Shared tab. Clicked New Connector. Clicked SQL. Clicked ODBC. Did not see a choice for "Other SQL in the drop down. Never got as far as Query Editor. Not sure what I did wrong. Your input is greatly appreciated! :smile: I would really like to get this working. TIA.

One other thing - does it matter that I’m using the EM trial version?

Have you configured firebird ODBC?

Hello:

Can you point me to a website that will tell me how to do that? Just FWIW, I would say my skill level is about average. Not really techie,

  1. Install the Firebird ODBC driver (64-bit) from the vendor’s website
  2. Go to Windows ODBC settings and create a new Firebase database connection (a system DSN), give it a name, specify the .fdb file in the connection settings.
  3. Go to EasyMorph and create a new ODBC connector. Specify the ODBC connection name created in step 2 above. Specify the “Other SQL” SQL dialect in the connector settings.

The hyperlink in @ckononenko’s answer above provides more details about installing and configuring the Firebase ODBC driver.
