I use a tdatabase and tquery.
All the database accesses are done by real sql (No ttable etc!)
The (bde)-alias I want to use is specified in an ini-file. I've got one
alias called iman_px that points to the paradox db, and one called
iman_ib that points to the firebird odbc driver (which points to the ib
database file).
This odbc works, since I can connect with winsql e.g. and query the db.
(Though I don't remember if I can do updates/insert by this way, will
check and tell you. (selects work well))

I'm aware of that. Because of that I use queries and not tables.
