My point is I can't the queries are in compiled apps and apps are
production. I do not have access to all of them at the moment, clients
are using them. So I will have to recompile and redistribute as well.

I should not have to modify anything at all. Everything worked fine with
InterBase.

Which it looks like I must stick with until this is resolved.

So I am assuming this is a bug? Or what.
