Sure, there are several. Here is one by Susan Cline for Derby which is
useful even though you are using Firebird:

And here is an older one written by Kulvir Bhogal which focuses on
DB2:

/index.html
If you would like to write about your experience using Firebird
and SQuirreL we'd be delighted to put a link to it (or host it) on
the SQuirreL page. Obviously, documenting steps to setup a
Firebird database for use with SQuirreL would be a big help for
those who aren't familiar with it.
What makes Firebird different is that there is actually a plugin
for it that was written by Roman Rokytskyy. There is a help
file for it, however I just noticed that it's missing from 2.3 final
install. I'll write up a bug and fix it for 2.4 RC1 after I figure
out why it's missing. Until then, you can reference it here:
http://squirrel-sql.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/squirrel-sql/sql12/plugi=
ns/firebird/doc/readme.html?revision=3D1.1
OK, I just looked at that and it's pretty useless. So, if you
would like to document what is available when users install
the plugin that would also be very useful. From looking at the code
it is apparent that there is a source tab for views, triggers,
procedures, and details about generators (sequences). Also
there seems to be support for altering, activating and
deactivating indexes. So a document might describe how to
create each of these items and then show how SQuirreL can
display information about them with the help of the Firebird
plugin using screenshots. Would you like to help us out with
this?
