## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the `&dhpackage;` command.

This manual page was written for the &debian; distribution because the original program does not have a (free) manual page. Instead, it has non-free documentation you can get from InterBase (Borland) or FireBird project sites; see at the end of the document.

`&dhpackage;` is an interpreter for a query language on Firebird and Interbase databases.

`&dhpackage;` is mainly provide for backwards compatibility for Interbase 4.0 and 3.3 and isn't supported anymore at the moment. This manpage has been reconstructed from the source of the qli tool and is likely to contain mistakes. If you find any, please report them as bugs.
