Steps

1. Download and install the latest 64-bit DBVisualizer from the download section of http://www.dbvis.com/.

   Info
   For Windows it is recommended to download the DBVisualizer 64-bit with embedded JRE. This way it is guaranteed that the firebird driver is always started with 64-bit java. !! Install DBVisualizer in a directory that does not contain any spaces !!

   
   

2. Extract dbvis_addons.zip into the DBVisualizer installation directory (e.g. jdbc subfolder and dlls are copied into the DBVisualizer installation directory).
3. Start DBVisualizer (e.g. ignore / close the DriverManager).
4. Import dbvis_settings.jar using File->Import settings. Restart when DBVisualizer prompts to restart.
5. In the list of connections, right-Click on a suitable connection example and duplicate it.
6. Edit the new connection and put in the correct connection details.
7. If the connection doesn't work because of some Java class couldn't be loaded: add the DbVisualizer installation dir to the PATH system environment variable (either using Windows Explorer or using setx /m command)

This page now contains the explanation and files for Firebird version 2.x (used in current FEWS builds)

See attachments for files

Copy the following files to the c:\Program Files\DbVisualizer-6.x.y directory:
fbembed.dll
icudt30.dll
icuin30.dll
icuuc30.dll
ib_util.dll
jaybird.dll
(NB on some computers you must also copy MSVCP71.dll, this file can be found in the fews bin directory)

Copy the following file to the c:\Program Files\DbVisualizer-6.x.y\lib directory:
connector.jar

Copy jaybird-2.1.6p.jar to c:\Program Files\DbVisualizer-6.x.y\jdbc\firebird

Use jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar (or jaybird-2.1.6p.jar for FEWS) as a JDBC driver in DBVisualizer. Make sure you remove any old firebird/jaybird jars from the DBVisualizer directories and from the DriverManager in DBVisualizer.

Only one process can access the local.fdb file at one time. To look at e.g. an OC localdatastore, exit the OC before accessing the localdatastore with DBVisualizer and vice versa.
