I looked at FIBPlus, I had heard it was suppoed to be faster than
IBO. But the connection time seemed slower.

I spin my own sql, the only components I use are
TIBDatabase, TIBTransaction, TIBSQL, TIBStoredProc and TIBEvent.

Up to this point, I've never run into anything I couldn't do with
IBExpress. And I'm on the tail end of a huge project.

My real concern though ( and the one that ultimately made me stop
with FIBPlus was the integration with RAVE reports. Thats the
heartburn I really don't want to face right now) So if there is
anyway through this, I need to get it done without.

I do appreciate your comments about the divergence. Thanks
