Declare the connection within your config/database.php file by using firebird as the driver (use PDO::ATTR_CASE => PDO::CASE_LOWER):

'connections' => [

    'firebird' => [
        'driver'   => 'firebird',
        'host'     => env('DB_FIREBIRD_HOST', 'localhost'),
        'port'     => env('DB_FIREBIRD_PORT', '3050'),
        'database' => env('DB_FIREBIRD_DATABASE', '/path_to/database.fdb'),
        'username' => env('DB_FIREBIRD_USERNAME', 'SYSDBA'),
        'password' => env('DB_FIREBIRD_PASSWORD', 'masterkey'),
        'charset'  => env('DB_FIREBIRD_CHARSET', 'UTF8'),
        'dialect'  => env('DB_FIREBIRD_DIALECT', '3'),
        'role'     => env('DB_FIREBIRD_ROLE', 'NONE'),
        'options' => [
            PDO::ATTR_CASE => PDO::CASE_LOWER,
            PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
            PDO::ATTR_ORACLE_NULLS => PDO::NULL_NATURAL,
            PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES => false,
            PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false
        ]
    ],

],

Add the DB_FIREBIRD_* environment variables to your .env file, for example:

DB_FIREBIRD_HOST=localhost
DB_FIREBIRD_PORT=3050
DB_FIREBIRD_DATABASE=/opt/firebird/database.fdb
DB_FIREBIRD_USERNAME=user
DB_FIREBIRD_PASSWORD=password
DB_FIREBIRD_CHARSET=WIN1250
DB_FIREBIRD_DIALECT=3

To register this package in Lumen, you'll also need to add the following line to the service providers in your config/app.php file: $app->register(\onezerotrash\Firebird\FirebirdServiceProvider::class);
