What kind of privileges can be applied to table users?

Table users may have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, REFERENCES, EXECUTE privileges. They are managed within the Permissions tab of the table editor or within the user editor.

What are the Firebird Maestro tools for managing stored procedures?
A stored procedure is a self-contained program written in Firebird procedure and trigger language, and stored as a part of the database metadata. Like all other database objects, stored procedures are created within the appropriate wizard (Create Procedure Wizard) and edited in the appropriate editor (Procedure Editor).
Are there any graphical tools for building and executing queries implemented?
Firebird Maestro provides two powerful tools which allow you either to edit query text directly with syntax highlighting and code completion or to build a query diagram visually selecting tables and fields, setting links between tables, etc.
What is the function of Generate Database Report? Does the report include data?
Generate Database Report Wizard allows you to print definitions of the database objects. To run the wizard, select the Tools | Generate Database Report main menu item. The wizard helps you to print all the database object or specify the Categories for printing according to the selected object type. The report does not include database data.
Is code completion implemented in the SQL Editor?
The Editor area is provided for working with the text of the query. For your convenience code completion is enabled. You can activate the completion list by pressing the Ctrl+Space key combination.
I cannot edit the SQL definition using the SQL tab? Why?
The reason is that you are trying to edit SQL definition within the SQL tab of the object editor. Bear in mind that this text is read-only. If you want to modify the object definition, use SQL Editor or SQL Script Editor tools.
What is the difference between Object Manager and Object Browser?
Both Object Manager and Object Browser are tools for operating on database objects designed as extensions of the Database Explorer. Firebird Maestro provides such operations as multiple selecting of objects (for copying, dropping, etc.) and the ability of using drag-and-drop operations between Object Manager, Object Browser and Database Explorer as well as between instances of the Object Manager or Object Browser. Unlike Object Manager Object Browser represents objects as a grid with according possibilities (sorting, grouping, and filtering).
Is it possible to execute more than one query using SQL Editor?
SQL Editor provides you with an ability to execute multiple queries separated by a statement delimiter from the same editor tab. Queries are executed in a separate thread, so all Firebird Maestro features remain available during the execution.
