Hi

I have a Windows app using a local instance of Firebird. Firebird is not running as a server so I can't use the [Firebird node](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-node-firebird)  
What steps do I need to make to read the database in Node-Red?

Everything is running on the same windows machine.
