Actually, TIBQuery is only the IBX counterpart of TQuery. The IBObjects
counterparts of TQuery (TIBOQuery for TDataset compatibility and TIB_Query
for full access to the dedicated InterBase architecture) DO support
RequestLive, even for most joined datasets.

Look at the UpdateSQL, InsertSQL and DeleteSQL properties of
TIBQuery. Click on the ellipsis of each of these properties to get an
auto-fill wizard.

It would be a good idea for you to join Jeff Overcash's interbaseexpress
newsgroup on forums.inprise.com if you are going to use these
components. Updates of the beta are available - currently they are on beta
version 4.3. This list is mainly for pooling knowledge about converting
databases to IB.
