Ok, thanks now I do understand your problem. Unfortunately I can't
reproduce it here with your example application. After editing two cells
and clicking Cancel the view is updated to reflect the original data and
I get 

TestModel.setResultset called
fillTable called
TestModel.setResultset called
Signal modelReset empfangen

In the console, so its clearly working. What version of Qt4 are you
using? (I'm on 4.2.x here, where x is IIRC something around 2)

If you can't change your Qt version, try emitting the dataChanged
Signal with the top-left and bottom-right QModelIndex.

Load the driver? I haven't compiled firebird support here, but it should
be as easy as that.

Well, if firebird libs and includes are in different directories use the
-I and -L flags to Qt4's configure (or use the system-provided Qt4 if it
includes firebird support - which it should). For example I run
configure -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/include/postgresql
to get the mysql and postgresql driver built (am using plain Debian
here)
