This would work the same as if I was using the editor in Marathon or Quick
Desk, however
I need to stream the changes ie. building up an sql script that may be run
at several sites
(and kept as source to recreate the sequence of events if necessary)

wisql is what we used in the past (ib 5.x) but it doesnt work reliably with
6, is there somewhere I can
download a newer version?

?? 'sfunny, it used to extract?

Havnt got IB workbench but have tried about 3 other 3rd party tools to no
avail :-(
