Go to
http://v.webring.com/hub?ring=interbase
and look for "Old Documentation set" in that page. Follow the URL and
scroll down to
1987 InterBase Documentation Set
then download the zipped PDF's.
The FB team is small. We don't have enough resources to keep gpre and
qli current with the DSQL syntax. They use their own parser to
generate BLR directly, unlike isql that talks SQL to the public API.
