You cannot say that "dbExpress sucks" - what driver(s) did you try?
Do note that our driver trial version has a maximum number of commands
and/or transaction to be executed.

I only tried the Borland drivers shipped with Delphi 6 Enterprise
Edition. I have used Borland's DB2 drivers successfully, but was unable
to complete the first part of my basic functionality test with Borland's
Interbase driver. I did not test any third party Interbase/Firebird
drivers. It is more correct to say that the architecture is neat, but
Borland's implementation of the architecture for Interbase was lacking.
