You did not understand Karol's answer. It does not matter how is organized your application - as soon as firebird engine starting with v.2.5 is embedded into it you can use execute statement to access external datasources. On the other hand, I do not see how can execute statement help to transfer non-standard hints to external datasource. If you still want to use external tables than the only 'absolute' way to transfer hints to it is adding own blr code(s) for that purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
