Hi Martijn

I work with Firebird 1.02 on a Win2k Sytem with Delphi 7 and make my first
tests with the dbExpress. I use the installed driver and all seems to work
for now. But I am new to dbExpress so can you tell me what are the advantages
of your driver against the default driver if one only uses standard SQL?

best regards
