William, Helen,

Thanks for your replies.

I do understand that IBAdmin can create tables (understand may be an
overstatement..), but am really wanting to be able to create a table myself,
using SQL.

I have attacked langref.pdf part of the interbase 60all.zip. I am hoping it
will be a good place to start, plus I do like the idea of creating some
tables etc in IBAdmin, and then noting what SQL statements are created.

I could copy these SQL statements into c++ code, (I think), placing it
between
EXEC SQL

END EXEC

(or something to that effect?)

If so, do I need to include a C++ library?

I am sorry, my questions are all over the place.
Thanks for you help, you are clearing things up a lot.

Cassandra.
