The main problem of UIB is they isn't read/write dataset

But a french developer made an excellent one (*TGzFBDataset)*:
http://www.zoo-logique.org/made_in_delphi_vcl_virtualdataset_grizzlypack.8.18.2001.html
(sorry the page doesn't exist in english)
for this component, it's better to use svn repository instead of zip
package (not yet up to date about this component)
