If I'm not wrong, QLI for example has the ability to change table fields, an
ability that's not present in IB5.6 and that requires direct manipulation of
the system tables. It seems this IB feature was always present but unleashed
in "high level commands". I expected it to appear as a SQL command in IB6 or
higher.
