Hi all, just a side question...
Does anyone have any comparisons between Borland's IBX controls and Jason
Wharton's IBO controls.
Just wondering which way we should jump... and whether any performs better
than the other.
Regards
C Fraser

If using IBX you still need to install the interbase client on the client
machines.
We have been using the FreeIB upon which IBX was based, and it works very
well, the best part being no BDE setup required. Have not yet moved to using
IBX. We did make some minor changes to the FreeIB source to improve
something's.
I think you will find IBX faster than via ADO, just due to less software
layers being used and also IBX talks directly to the Interbase server,
compared to ADO having to use ODBC to talk to the IB server.
If using ADO you will need to install the Interbase ODBC driver on the
client machines and configure the ODBC setup. Of course if IB at sometime
ships with a direct ADO/OLE DB provider, then this would even the equation
out and perhaps favour the ADO approach for pure portability between DB
reasons.
