Summary

Simple CRUDs operations from Appsmith to Firebird DB.

Why should this be worked on?

We have a legacy Firebird/Interbase database that I want to connect to an internal Appsmith application. I know that there are many connectors developed for other applications, such as Metabase and Node-Red (we currently use both).

@fernandogiacomino thank you for submitting the feature request, we will surely look into it. While it may take us some time to get around to natively support firebird, have you considered alternatives like hosting your own server to enable communication with the db over REST?

fernandogiacomino commented 2 years ago

I currently have a local installation of the database and access it from another VM with NodeRed. This one has at least two nodes in npm that allow CRUD operations with Firebird.
