Nothing against IBO, as I have never used it, but The IBX component source code is freely available from

http://codecentral.borland.com/codecentral/ccweb.exe/listing?id=17555 so
support for FireBird could be added easily.
Obviously the only major problem is that someone will need to maintain it.

But apart from that, IBX ( or FBX if a FireBird specific version is
maintained ) is a viable alternative to IBO.


I hope this helps and motivates someone to take the lead in such a project.

PS. In my best Alex Guinness voice, "Use the source, FBSQL!!!".

L8R,


Dominique.
