That's because Firebird is the actual server that you run the SQL against.
Using APIs, I can do exactly the same thing in Delphi; and using the C pre
compiler, I can do even more than you can in VFP with Firebird.

But using the API, I can also do the same using Delphi and MS SQL Server;
and using the pre compiler, I can do more than you can with VFP against SQL
Server .... and so on and so forth. The point is that this has nothing to
do with Firebird.
