Although you can use the TIBQuery and TIBUpdateSQL together to provide live
datasets for editing, it is generally much easier to just use the TIBDataset
component which is basically a combination of them. It can help you
automatically generate the needed statements for updating, deleting,
inserting, etc. It will probably be much easier for a beginner to use than
TIBQuery or TIBSQL. I generally only use the TIBQuery, TIBSQL for retrieving
non-live data since they have a little less overhead than the TIBDataset.
