Has anyone ever had experience with Googles Firebase, and know if they can connect to the database on a server or like an ODBC connection?

Firebase is a JSON-document based data store. Hence, non-relational. Accessible through some SDK - and via REST calls.

I googled for SQL-based drivers and found nada. Even if one added an ODBC driver you still have the issue of data being JSON documents instead of table-structured resultsets.

Yes thanks realised that now it's not trying to be or replace SQL at all, nevermind!

Yeah, NoSQL originally meant "Not Only SQL". But many NoSQL databases these days have no relation to SQL at all.

Sorry.
