I just installed Firebird 5.0 64bit (Windows 11). Is there a Firebird
Database Manager available for creating and maintaining databases?

isql.exe is a handy tool for creating users and databases, etc.

But for maintaining large amounts of data, shouldn't there be data
management utilities?

Years ago, I found a database manager for Firebird version 2, 32bit.
If that can be adapted for version 5, I can redesign that. Just
curious why there is no database manager with the installation
packages.

I have years worth of data I will need to convert.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Thank you.

FlameRobin would be most convenient tool for managing Firebird. Or
DBeaver Community Edition is free.

No Firebird in the description:

one of the database systems MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL, PostgreSQL
and SQLite.
Apparently Firebird was an afterthought there
