> Hello I have all my apps in Delphi with the IBX components and ClientDataSets to conect with a FB Database. Since long time ago IBX creator says it doesn't support FB. So far I can work with very simple queries fine. But now I'd like to use a component which supports FB.

Hello sergio, i'm in the same process. We have selected IBDac from devart, but have not started the migration. There is a migration tool from ibx that automates a lot of work.


About ibx, we also saw a problem in the components. The problem is that the first time it opens a dataset or ibquery, starts one transaction to recover the calculated fields and the fields that compounds the pk. When one datamodule opens 30 datasets, the first time ibx starts 30 transactions. With a lot of users and a lot of datamodules there is a lot of delay opening the first time the datasets.
