That's true - somewhere along the line you need to put the sysdba password
in your code - I encrypt it into my exe and at runtime I decrypt it to use
it. That way, at least noone can see the password and it's very hard to work
out how I've encrypted it since the boundary of the passsword is hard to see
in the exe binary.
Otherwise you only have to use the very nice little components in teh IBO
contributed section for editing/adding etc. (or build your own)
