This is a Borland Delphi related question and therefore should be asked in
borland.public.delphi.interbase.interbaseexpress newsgroup.

However, to answer your quesion, the IBQuery is a read-only dataset and can
only be used for editing, inserting, deleting if used in conjunction with an
IBUpdateSQL component. Otherwise, use the IBDataset component which let's
you specify all the select, insert, delete, modify and refresh queries in
one component.
