Hi, I would suggest to use Firebird as well, it is much cheeper when you make installations for a customer!
IBObjects do work fine, but you have to pay for them, and it's not only a little bit. I just changed back all my DB-Projects from IBObjects to native Borlands Interbase which works fine(!!!) with firebird. The benefits (yes, there are) from IBObjects did not pay... Connection too slow? Hmm .... I'd never used an opened IBDatabase or IBTable. Because in a network, you don't know beforehand, what or where your server is, so you have to close your database, specify a new server (read from an Ini-file) and re-open the database again, then open the tables... When you debug your program, I'm quite sure, that you'll see that the 'tTable.Open' will not take so much time, but the IBDatabase.Connect. Do not use the tIbTables, use tIBSQL instead Don't forget the tIBUpdSql-component, if you want to change anything in your table) Have fun, happy coding Bob ----------------------------------------------------- Home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/delphi-en/ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
