Well, if your are switching to Firebird you MUST use third-party components
because the Firebird project does not provide any Delphi components.
Borland-provided components ARE third-party components in this situation.
Why you would use them when they have stated that they will NOT maintain
Firebird compatibility? The other choices (IB Objects or FIBPlus) are much
better solutions once you get beyond Firebird 1.0.
