it's not the XML, it's the ADOdb driver. It's just not up to it yet. e.g.
you need to be able to ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN - which FB doesn't support
(not default values and null flags) so you'd need to turn all that into some
pretty fine scripting to get the same result. There's probably tons of other
stuff. I can get DB creation no worries. But upgrading the application is
real nasty so far.
